"B<bc> is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with "
"interactive execution of statements.  There are some similarities in the "
"syntax to the C programming language.  A standard math library is available "
"by command line option.  If requested, the math library is defined before "
"processing any files.  B<bc> starts by processing code from all the files "
"listed on the command line in the order listed.  After all files have been "
"processed, B<bc> reads from the standard input.  All code is executed as it "
"is read.  (If a file contains a command to halt the processor, B<bc> will "
"never read from the standard input.)"

"expression is evaluated and printed to the output.  After the number is "
"printed, a newline is printed.  For example, \"a=1\" is an assignment "

"All numbers that are printed are printed in the base specified by the "

"multi-character digit method of printing the numbers where each higher base "
"digit is printed as a base 10 number.  The multi-character digits are "
"separated by spaces.  Each digit contains the number of characters required "
