So? We are really talking about using mice, not whether an app is an X-app or not. Do they require the use of a mouse? Are they ncurses apps? Some console apps that use mice don't have very good keyboard command sets. Is that the case with these? Why do you think they are better than bc? If they are so good, why do you need two different ones? Sid

One performs numerical analysis, the other is a computer algebra system. Rui Maciel
