really needed and someone cares to spend time on that. But if you need to use
software that need e.g. bc, the package certainly already depends on bc anyway.

POSIX.1-2001 Utilities[1] and POSIX.1-2008 Utilities[2] both list the
commands "bc" and "ed" to be part of POSIX.
Yet, in a brand new Debian installation (version 10 for example),
these commands are missing by default:

It also needs to be completely re-written. Re-designed, too, which probably

Hi,
I tried to setup Debian-Etch with the BC-RC1-CD on my Thinkpad x60s with
a USB-cdrom, but the Installer does not find the CD.
Is it a Bug?

By now, many others have set you straight about the scale variable. I just
wanted to let you know that invocated bc with the "-l" switch will set the
scale to 20, and load some math functions as well.

Not really, since I'm not getting it. In any case, you can junk mail
from their site with your filters. I saved the message you forwarded
the way to get natural logarithm of x is l(x)
When you start bc type bc -l or mc --mathlib to make the math library
available.
Also type
man bc
to get more about the capabilities of bc.
Hope this helps.

OK. Thank you everybody, now I can do divisions. But now I'm getting a
bit more complicated... how can I do logarithms (eg. ln 5 = 1.6094...) ?
thanks again
joerg
Or you could just use:
'bc -l' on invocation to get bc to treat numbers as 'longs'

Hi:
Re using bc.
Start bc.
then type scale=5 ( for five decimal places for example)
Then you can do your divisions.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
I have a lot of data that has to be processed, means 100 numbers having
to be divided by another 100 numbers. I did a job like this for adding
numbers to others by
bc < input-file > output-file
with input-file:
one # eg. 199+243
operation # 198+3
step to use my 3com Card?
Best Reguards, Rene

Yes, bc and dc have been very standard on most kinds of Unices for a very
long time.
