I wouldn't know where to start for floating point maths in pure 'dash' and I'll stick my neck out and say it cannot be done at all.
I misread your post as dash misbehaving rather than zsh, but anyway - I don't mean the shell has floating point. I mean shell printf could use it as a temporary intermediate to implement %f.

I don't use "%f" anywhere, I use "%.f"
potato, potahto. The simplest way to implement %f is the C function calls strtof and sprintf, which would use a floating point intermediate. It'd unprocess the number into a float then immediately process it back into a string using the "%.f" specifier. Less than a line.

You're taking the path of maximum resistance again. If you leave out the decimal point entirely and assume all numbers are multiplied by 100, addition and subtraction "just work", no zero padding required. Then you use division and modulus to extract the full and fractional parts later.

Anyone know of a guide or instructions for Solaris

Hi!
I'm new in these forums and more or less new with Unix. So... here is the question:
does anyone know where is redirected the output of a command when you put >&- after it?
Does it means any standard file descriptor?
Thanks! (2 Replies)
hi,
I would like to ask or is it possible to dump a hex using dd from starting point to end point just like the "xxd -s 512 -l 512 <bin file>"
I know the redirect hexdump -C but i can't figure it out the combination options of dd.
Hope someone can share their knowledge..
Thanks in... (3 Replies)

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

gnome-calculator(1) User Commands gnome-calculator(1)NAME
gnome-calculator, gcalctool - perform basic, financial, and scientific calculations
SYNOPSIS
gnome-calculator [-a accuracy] [-D] [-E] [gnome-std-options]
DESCRIPTION
The Calculator application is multifunctional and can handle different types of mathematical approaches.
Calculator has the following modes:
Basic Mode Provides standard calculator functions. You can store numbers in 10 different memory registers, and easily retrieve
and replace the numbers in the memory registers. Basic Mode is the default mode. You can use all of the Basic Mode
functions in each of the other modes.
Financial Mode Provides several complex financial functions.
Scientific Mode Provides many additional mathematical functions, including trigonometric and logical functions. You can also store
your own functions and constants, when you use Scientific Mode.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
On startup, Calculator uses the following configuration resources stored in a GConf database.
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/accuracy
Values: Accuracy value
Description: The number of digits displayed after the
numeric point. This value must be in the
range 0 to 9.
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/base
Values: Numeric Base
Description: The initial numeric base. Valid values are
"BIN" (binary), "OCT" (octal), "DEC" (deci-
mal), and "HEX" (hexadecimal).
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/display
Values: Display mode
Description: The initial display mode. Valid values are
"ENG" (engineering), "FIX" (fixed-point), and
SCI" (scientific).
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/mode
Values: Mode
Description: The initial calculator mode. Valid values are
"BASIC", "FINANCIAL", and "SCIENTIFIC".
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/showzeroes
Values: true, false (true)
Description: Whether to show trailing zeroes after the
numeric point in the display value.
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/showregisters
Values: true, false (true)
Description: Whether to display the memory register window
when Calculator starts.
Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/trigtype
Values: Trig. type
Description: The initial trigonometric type. Valid values
are "DEG" (degrees), "GRAD" (grads), and
"RAD" (radians).
Any constants or functions that the user defines are also stored in the GConf database.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a accuracy Specifies the number of digits displayed after the numeric point. This value must be in the range 0 to 9.
-D Enable debug mode.
-E Enable debug mode in the multiple-precision arithmetic package.
gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Launching Calculator

EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Application exited successfully
>0 Application exited with failure
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
