+README for Urchlay's fork of hcalc
+----------------------------------
+
+This is a fork of hcalc with some fixes and enhancements.
+
+Original hcalc is by DJ Delorie, and can be found here:
+https://www.delorie.com/store/hcalc/
+This version dates back to the late 90s, when computer monitors had
+lower resolution. It uses a 125x147 window, which is pretty small and
+hard to read on a modern display (particularly a 4K one). It's also
+harder to click on the tiny buttons.
+
+Sometime around 2007, Theodore Kilgore forked hcalc and made some
+changes:
+- Increase the application's window size by 2x (from 125x147
+  to 250x294). This helps some with modern displays.
+- Make the window manager's close button work.
+- Change the build system from make to cmake.
+- Add a copy of the GPL as COPYING, since the original version
+  doesn't have it (though the site states that it's GPL).
+This was released as hcalc-1.2, and can be found here:
+https://github.com/jlec/hcalc/
+Also, this is the version packaged by Gentoo.
+
+In 2024, I (B. Watson, urchlay@slackware.uk) have made many further
+changes. See CHANGES for the list. See the man page for full
+documentation (something that was lacking in the previous releases).
