+
+From the introduction to the manual:
+
+  "Calc" is an advanced calculator and mathematical tool that runs as
+  part of the GNU Emacs environment.  Very roughly based on the HP-28/48
+  series of calculators, its many features include:
+
+    * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations.
+
+    * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers.
+
+    * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and
+      polar), error forms with standard deviations, open and closed
+      intervals, vectors and matrices, dates and times, infinities,
+      sets, quantities with units, and algebraic formulas.
+
+    * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions.
+
+    * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers).
+
+    * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return.
+
+    * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and
+      arithmetic modulo M for any M.
+
+    * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus.
+
+    * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers.
+
+    * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly
+      inside any editing buffer.
+
+    * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program.
+
+    * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas,
+      algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.
+
+
+Calc is written entirely in Emacs Lisp, for maximum portability.
+
+I am anxious to hear about your experiences using Calc.  Send mail to
+"jay.p.belanger@gmail.com".  A bug report is most useful if you include the
+exact input and output that occurred, any modes in effect (such as the
+current precision), and so on.  If you find Calc is difficult to operate
+in any way, or if you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to let me
+know.  If you find errors (including simple typos) in the manual, let
+me know.  Even if you find no bugs at all I would love to hear your
+opinions.
