CALC v1.15
V1.15 delivers a 10x to 100x speedup over V1.0...
To learn more on using Calc, hit 'h' after running it.
The following is a short demonstration of Calc:

ABOUT CALC:
The precision is user selectable, limited only by memory constraints. The
16-bit version is limited to roughly 1,000 to 2,000 digits of precision.
The 32-bit Win32 version has no practical memory limits.
Setting the precision to over 500 digits may cause square root to be
relatively slow. Calc V1.1x is between 10 to 100 times faster than V1.0,
and future version will provide even greater speedups.
