 **gdcalc** is a financial, statistics, scientific and programmers calculator for Unix and Linux. The GUI was written with **glade**(1) and uses the Gtk-2 toolkit - so it may well be compatible with themes and other whiz-bang features of those systems.
-**gdcalc** has both Algebraic notation (ie. conventional, TI or Casio style) and Reverse Polish Notation (RPN or Hewlett-Packard style). If you've not heard of RPN before, you are probably familiar with algebraic calculators. Very briefly, while simpler and more natural to use, RPN calculators may need some study eg. they have an Enter key instead of the equals key and are based on the use of a stack.

 **gdcalc** is based on my venerable dcalc RPN calculator which I wrote about a million years ago to learn C and curses - about 1983, I suppose.
