From the introduction to the manual:
algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.

-To install Calc:
-
- 1. Type "uncompress calc-2.02.tar.Z"
-
- 2. Type "tar xvf calc-2.02.tar"
-
-1,2. Alternatively: "zcat calc-2.02.tar.Z | tar xvf -"
-
- 3. Note that the Calc tar file now creates a "calc-2.02" subdirectory
- of the current directory in which to place its files.
-
- 4. Follow the instructions in the file "INSTALL".
-
-
-
Calc is written entirely in Emacs Lisp, for maximum portability.
-You do not need to recompile Emacs to install and use Calc.
-
-You will need about six megabytes of disk space to install Calc
-and its Info documentation.
-
-See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. The instructions
-may seem long, but on typical systems you will only need to follow the
-steps shown in the first section.
-
-Don't even try to run Calc in uncompiled (.el) form! It's far too slow.
-
I am anxious to hear about your experiences using Calc. Send mail to
-"daveg@synaptics.com". A bug report is most useful if you include the
+"belanger@truman.edu". A bug report is most useful if you include the
exact input and output that occurred, any modes in effect (such as the
current precision), and so on. If you find Calc is difficult to operate
in any way, or if you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to let me
me know. Even if you find no bugs at all I would love to hear your
opinions.
-The latest Calc tar files and patches are always available for anonymous
-FTP on prep.ai.mit.edu.
-Thanks,
