The pyramid dc does seem to have some problems here, also.

I've noticed that it does not interpret the "f" command correctly.
A little investigation shows that it takes "a" through "f" to be
hexadecimal digits, WHATEVER base you happen to be using.  This screws
up the "c" command also.  eg:

45 67 89 f

results in four numbers on the stack and no output.  The top will be 15.
I wound up verifying that dc was supposed to work the way I thought it
was by using it on an ULTRIX box.  For what it's worth, I sent a note
to our support people here, so they could send Pyramid a bug report.  I
don't know if they did or not.
