I get
% xcalc &

[4] Illegal instruction xcalc (core dumped)
...and the calculator disappears. Now, I used to have a TI, and it
often disappeared, but usually not when I was using it!:-)
Coredump available on request.
Also:
from man xcalc:
xcalc accepts all of the standard toolkit command line
options along with two additional options:
-stipple
This option indicates that the background of the
calculator should be drawn using a stipple of the
foreground and background colors. On monochrome
displays improves the appearance.
% xcalc -stipple &
