There is another calculator program in arisia.xerox.com:~ftp/pub/C_calc.tar.Z.
It uses demand driven evaluation to get results accurate to +-1 in the least
significant displayed digit.  You can scroll through numbers to see as much
of them as you like.  (It gets the right answer for ln(pi + exp(-500) - pi),
to as many digits as you care to look at.)

It runs on Sun 3s, Sun 4s, RS/6000s and some other workstations.
