because, well, the same reason I run vi in terse mode.
I think there was one particular dc clone...guy
whose name started with
a G? and his version did that.
On my ancient MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010, High Sierra 10.13.6):
mackie:~ dave$ dc
(^D)
mackie:~ dave$ dc -V
dc (GNU bc 1.06) 1.3
On my ancient FreeBSD server:
aneurin% dc
(^D)
aneurin% dc -V
dc (BSD bc) 1.3-FreeBSD
Nil prompt in both cases.
