On my ancient MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010, High Sierra 10.13.6):
mackie:~ dave$ dc
(^D)
mackie:~ dave$ dc -V
dc (GNU bc 1.06) 1.3
On my ancient FreeBSD server:
aneurin% dc
(^D)
aneurin% dc -V
dc (BSD bc) 1.3-FreeBSD
Nil prompt in both cases.

Perhaps so, but I try to avoid using Penguin/OS and GNU... I don't like
its licence conditions ("free" it ain't), and I would rather write my own
libraries than be constrained by Stallman's conditions.
