1 The GNU Emacs Calculator
**************************

"Calc" is an advanced desk calculator and mathematical tool that runs
as part of the GNU Emacs environment.

   This manual is divided into three major parts: "Getting Started,"
the "Calc Tutorial," and the "Calc Reference."  The Tutorial introduces
all the major aspects of Calculator use in an easy, hands-on way.  The
remainder of the manual is a complete reference to the features of the
Calculator.

   For help in the Emacs Info system (which you are using to read this
file), type `?'.  (You can also type `h' to run through a longer Info
tutorial.)
