Package: bc Version: 1.06.95-4 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi, marry x-mas, etc...
there is something which has been bothering me for years now. In some European cultures, especially in German and Russian, the decimal point is not a point but a comma sign. The floating point key on a German keyboard's numpad is a comma and not a point, and it's pretty natural to use that key when many number are entered. Unfortunatelly this totally sucks with bc which is confused over commas. I wish there would be an operation mode which treats commas like points, even if that needs to be enabled with some option.
