e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Hoc, the High Order Calculator, is an interpreted language for
|
|
floating-point calculations. Its most basic use is as a powerful and
|
|
convenient calculator, interactively evaluating expressions such as
|
|
1+2*sin(0.7). But hoc is no ordinary calculator: It also lets you
|
|
assign values to variables, define your own functions, and use loops,
|
|
conditionals, and everything else you'd expect in a programming
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
Hoc was developed by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, and introduced in
|
|
their 1984 book The Unix Programming Environment. This version has been
|
|
extended and improved by Nadav Y. Har'El.
