+ARIBAS is an interactive interpreter for big integer arithmetic
+and multi-precision floating point arithmetic with a Pascal/Modula
+like syntax. It has several builtin functions for algorithmic number
+theory like gcd, Jacobi symbol, Rabin probabilistic prime test,
+factorization algorithms (Pollard rho, continued fraction,
+quadratic sieve), etc.
+
+ARIBAS is used for the examples of number theoretic algorithms in the book
+Algorithmische Zahlentheorie by O. Forster.
+
+A GNU Emacs mode is also included.
