Hi, Jay!
I've suddenly become aware of what a massive and capable program calc is.
As my excuse, on Emacs 21 (which will be my main workhorse for a few
weeks yet), M-x calc expands to M-x calculator.
But who wrote this tremendous program (and classy manual)? Going into
calc.info, a lot of contributors are listed (on the page "History and
Acknowledgements"). But not the author, David Gillespie. He refers to
himself only by the diffident prepositions, "I" and "me". I found this
irritating - so irritating, in fact, that I went straight to calc.el to
identify this brilliant hacker. You aren't named there, either.
How about "fixing" this before the release?
