+Bc is an arbitrary precision calculator language. Syntax is similar
+to C, but differs in many substantial areas. It supports interactive
+execution of statements
+
+It can also be used as a simple console-based calculator.
+
+This GNU version of bc contains several extensions beyond traditional
+bc implementations and the POSIX draft standard.
+
+This package also includes dc, another arbitrary precision calculator.
+Dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
+precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.
