4*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  'bc' is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  Its syntax is similar to C, but differs in many substantial
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  areas. It supports interactive execution of statements. 'Bc'
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  is a utility included in the POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  This version does not use the historical method of having bc
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  be a compiler for the dc calculator (the POSIX document
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  doesn't specify how bc must be implemented).
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  This version has a single executable that both compiles the
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  language and runs the resulting 'byte code.' The byte code is
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun	  not the dc language.
