Hello!
I want to evaluate some mathematical expressions in a script and I try to use 'expr' command.
Unfortunatally, when I have, for example,
expr 8.2 + 6
the result is 'expr: non-numeric argument'
Why ?
I work on SunOs 5.7.
Thanks in advance

install-catalog
INSTALL-CATALOG(8) INSTALL-CATALOG(8)
NAME
install-catalog - Manage a SGML or XML centralized catalog
SYNOPSIS
install-catalog [ option ] action ... [ [ -d] [ --delegate] ] [ [ -a centralized ordinary] [ --add centralized ordinary]
[ -r centralized ordinary] [ --remove centralized ordinary]
[ -h] [ --help]
[ -v] [ --version] ]
DESCRIPTION
This shell script allows to handle a centralized catalog referencing other "ordinary" SGML or XML Open Catalogs.
An Open Catalog contains a set of directives defined by OASIS, mostly used for defining equivalences between FPIs (Formal Public Identi-
fiers) and real file names (see TR9401:1997 on http://www.oasis-open.org <URL:http://www.oasis-open.org>). The Open Catalogs usually
reside in /usr/share/sgml.
A centralized catalog is a special Open Catalog that includes only comments and CATALOG directives pointing to other catalogs (or DELEGATE
directives if supported). The centralized catalog can be the key to all other SGML resources. It usually resides in /etc/sgml.
The centralized catalog can be edited manually or through the install-catalog script to add or remove references to other ordinary cata-
logs. This script is mainly destined to software package post-installation scripts.
An example of a typical call to install-catalog is:
install-catalog --add
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.54/catalog
/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-4.0.cat
This call will install in /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-4.0.cat a reference to /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.54/catalog.
OPTIONS
Here is the list of options that can influence the way install-catalog works:
[ [ -d] [ --delegate] ]
Use DELEGATE instead of CATALOG directives to specify a pointer
ACTIONS
Here is the list of actions that can be requested to install-catalog:
[ [ -a centralized ordinary] [ --add centralized ordinary] ]
Declare a new SGML package.
[ [ -r centralized ordinary] [ --remove centralized ordinary] ]
Remove a previously installed SGML package.
[ [ -h] [ --help] ]
Print a short help message and exit
[ [ -v] [ --version] ]
Print the version identifier and exit
FILES
