Package description for 'bc'

GNU's bc (a numeric processing language) and dc (a calculator)

 bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language.  Syntax is
 similar to C, but differs in many substantial areas.  It supports
 interactive execution of statements.  bc is a utility included in the
 POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
 Since the POSIX document does not specify how bc must be implemented, 
 this version does not use the historical method of having bc be 
 a compiler for the dc calculator. This version has a single 
 executable that both compiles the language and runs the resulting 
 `byte code'. The byte code is not the dc language.
