NAME
     moo -- Marco's Object Oriented calculator

SYNOPSIS
     moo [-lsu] [-b base] [expr] [...]

DESCRIPTION
     A	simple calculator that accepts C-like syntax as input.	Calculations are
     done on expr, if given.  Otherwise, the standard input is used.

     Numbers can be entered  in  hexadecimal  (0xbeef),  decimal  (1984),  octal
     (007),  and  binary (0b1001).  All numerical operators (+, -, *, /, %), bit
     operators (|, ^, &, ~, <<, >>), and logical operators (==, !=,  <,  >,  <=,
     >=, !, &&, ||) are supported.

     Output  will be in the same bases as the input, unless a different base was
     specified (see -b flag below).  If only one number is input, the result  is
     printed in all bases.

     The options are:

     -b base
	     Output numbers in base format.  base can be 2, 8, 10, 16, or `all'.
	     Multiple  bases  may  be  specified  by giving the -b flag multiple
	     times.

     -l      Output bit labels for binary results.

     -s      Output base 10 numbers as signed.

     -u      Output base 10 numbers as unsigned.

SEE ALSO
     bc(1), dc(1), expr(1)

AUTHORS
     moo was written for the public domain by Ray Lai <ray@cyth.net> after  much
     whining by Marco Peereboom.

CAVEATS
     Integer  overflows are not checked.  Marco says, ``I don't think you should
     call the integer overflows a bug but a feature.  You can  use  it	to  test
     signed unsigned issues.''

BUGS
     Calculations are limited to the size of a 64-bit integer.

     Like bc(1), moo parses ``3--2'' without error.
