- Version 1.00 (9/88)
-
- Eval was originally written to be a flexible PC calculator. Since I
- work in a lab where bessel functions are freqently used, I placed
- emphasis on putting bessel functions in the code. I also wanted
- something more powerful than a simple mock-up of an actual calculator.
- And since I own an Amiga but work with IBM PC clones, I used ANSI C for
- portability. This version stayed fairly constant over four years, and I
- ran it on unix, VMS, and PC (Amiga, IBM, Mac) platforms.

- Version 1.10 (approx 1/93)
-
- A friend of mine asked me to put Eval in the public domain, so I figured
- I'd better dress it up a little. I added more flexible output (user
- specified precision), automatic pausing every 22 lines, and the ability
- to specify input and output in any number base. I also rewrote the math
- library using my own coding (with help from Abromowitz and Stegun :-) so
- that I would not infringe upon Numerical Recipes in C's copyright when I
- distributed my source code. Now Eval is entirely my own doing (not
- necessarily a good thing ;-).

-
- Version 1.11 (approx 2/93)
-
- A version I never released. I added better script support.
-
-
- Version 1.12 (4-9-93)
-
- I added a default write directory and read path for scripts, and I added
- the ability to specify a certain page of help.
-
- Version 1.13 (4-13-93)
-
- I changed the command line argument interpretation so that eval
- could evaluate a single expression and quit.
