Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Hoc, the High Order Calculator, is an interpreted language for
floating-point calculations. Its most basic use is as a powerful and
convenient calculator, interactively evaluating expressions such as
1+2*sin(0.7). But hoc is no ordinary calculator: It also lets you
assign values to variables, define your own functions, and use loops,
conditionals, and everything else you'd expect in a programming
language.
Hoc was developed by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, and introduced in
their 1984 book The Unix Programming Environment. This version has been
extended and improved by Nadav Y. Har'El.
