The usage of calc is
stilts <stilts-flags> calc table=<table>
[expression=]<expr>
If you don't have the stilts script installed,
write "java -jar stilts.jar" instead of
"stilts" - see Section 3.
The available <stilts-flags> are listed
in Section 2.1.
Parameter values are assigned on the command line as explained in Section 2.3. They are as follows:
expression = <expr>
table = <table>
expression is evaluated.
This parameter is optional, and will usually not be required;
its only purpose is to allow use of constant expressions
(table parameters) associated with the table.
These can be referenced using identifiers of the form
param$*,
ucd$* or
utype$* -
see Section 9.2 for more detail.
