1. Bc(1) has the idea that the last function letter
is 'z', corresponding to decimal 26 in dc(1)'s
stable[]. However, dc only gives an error for
undefined functions up to LASTFUN ... _octal_ 026.
Which is correct? My bets are with bc.
2. Why is there no mention of <n> register notation
for the [SsLl:;<>=] commands in dc's man page?
3. Is it wrong to love bc(1) for being a compiler? ;)
Thanks,
Anthony

In my opinion, absolutely not. I wish more software was.
