+long_desc="
+ 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."
