the program 'calc'

I would like to use the program calc as in man pages and RwR, however, I can't find it anywhere.
Is it missing in action?
Cheers,

It got renamed, to eliminate a conflict. Try "icalc", I believe. Here's
the post that started it all:

You could also create an alias called "the program formerly known as
calc", but that's messy.

Hi Paul,

The calc program has been renamed to "icalc" in 3.6 to avoid a naming conflict on some Unix systems. (The new name corresponds to "interactive calculator" if it helps you remember.) These are the name changes that were made in 3.6:

  calc -> icalc
  gencat -> gencatenary
  lam -> rlam
  neat -> neaten
  rview -> rvu

The "rvu" program has a symbolic link to "rview," but still you'll get an invocation of the restricted, read-only version of "vi" on most systems unless you Radiance binaries are ahead of /usr/bin in your PATH variable.
