hi.

I am looking for a command-line calculator, that works in a MS-DOS prompt.

Essentially this is what I want:

C:\> calc 3*5
15

C:\> calc 5+20
25

C:\> calc 20-5
15

C:\> calc 20/5
4

C:\> calc sqrt(9)
3

Does someone know of any command-line calculator program?

EVAL is a small scientific calculator to be used from the DOS
command line or in batch file processing.

1. EVAL is free.
2. All calculations are performed in long double precision (80
bits).
3. It can evaluate any expression (or set of expressions)
located in its command line (useful for fast calculations and inside
batch files)
4. It can also be used as an interactive calculator.
5. You can assign values to variables and use them.
6. It has a complete and easy to use help file.

Should do it...

Enjoy!

What fascinates me again and again:

In less time than you probably used for composing your message, I
googled with keywords "dos command line calculator".

While you had to wait for replies, it took only seconds to find
http://home.att.net/~short.stop/freesoft/01index.htm with a bunch of
free calculators to choose from.

Anybody at home?

I could have Googled, but I like to know programs that someone *has tried* and
can comment about.

No offense, but what's so hard about trying some of the Google results
for yourself? Surely only YOU can decide if such results suit your
needs.

Dial-up connection, paying by the minute.

I download all my news messages, compose while offline then upload them again,
like in the old days of 'mail packets' on BBS.

So I like to know what programs are known to be good.

prompt.

4DOS provides this, among many other things. It might be overkill to
exchange the command processor just to get a calculator, but evetually
you'll see it's very economic because you don't need most the other
tools any more.

4DOS is freeware at ftp://jpsoft.com/4dos/4dos750.exe

Actually, the freeware version is at ftp://jpsoft.com/beta/4dos750.exe, the
above link STILL downloads the SHAREware version.

Shareware version approx 1.30Mb
Freeware version approx 1.23Mb (does not contain the registration
utility)

Actually no. The first link, given by me, is correct. It loads the
freeware version 4DOS 7.50 build 130, VER /R confirms this (I just
downloaded the file again for testing your assertion). By now even the
text on the webpage is corrected.
