The GNU Emacs Calculator
************************
"Calc 2.02" is an advanced desk calculator and mathematical tool that
runs as part of the GNU Emacs environment.
This manual is divided into three major parts: "Getting Started," the
"Calc Tutorial," and the "Calc Reference." The Tutorial introduces
all the major aspects of Calculator use in an easy, hands-on way. The
remainder of the manual is a complete reference to the features of the
Calculator.
For help in the Emacs Info system (which you are using to read this
file), type `?'. (You can also type `h' to run through a longer Info
tutorial.)
