+ (description
+ "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.")
