# 3a4441e3 19-Sep-2000 jdolecek <jdolecek@NetBSD.org>

reimplement expr using lexical parser generated by yacc
highlights:
* / is treated correctly depending upon context (addresses PR # 10995)
* use 64 bit arithmetic, so expr is able to process integer

reimplement expr using lexical parser generated by yacc
highlights:
* / is treated correctly depending upon context (addresses PR # 10995)
* use 64 bit arithmetic, so expr is able to process integer values from
-(2**63) to (2**63 - 1)
* checks for integer over- & underflows added
* error messages improved, more error checking added

add AUTHOR section to manpage
add BUGS section, and mention possible drawbacks with other expr implementations

XXX the old expr treated empty string in arithmetic expressions as if it was 0
XXX this behaviour has been retained
