 As a relative "old-timer" in the computer world, I am still partial to
 running DOS or "console" applications in Windows 95/98/NT.  I almost
 always have several 4DOS boxes open at the same time.

 Since I spend so much time at a "DOS Prompt", it's not easy (or practical)
 to run the Windows calculator program.  And I'm too cheap to go out and
 buy a calculator to keep near my desk.  So, I wrote EVAL to let me quickly
 do simple math calculations from the DOS Prompt.

 The syntax is pretty straight forward:

 Usage:     EVAL expression

 Where expression is a valid mathematical equation
 allowing for parenthetical precidence.

 Example:   EVAL 4 + 5 * (4 + 9) / 6

 Supports:  * / + -     Multiplication, Division, Addition,
                        and subtraction.
            \ %         Integer Division, Modulus.
            ** ^        Raising to the power of.
            & | $       Logical AND, OR, and XOR.
            =< => <>    Less than or Equal to, Greater than
                        or Equal to, and Not Equal to.
            < > =       Less than, Greater than, and Equal
                        to.

 You can also use hexadecimal and binary numbers by preciding the numer
 with an "h" or "b":

   EVAL hFF & b1101
