(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.")
+ "bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language. It includes
+an interactive environment for evaluating mathematical statements. Its
+syntax is similar to that of C, so basic usage is familiar. It also includes
+\"dc\", a reverse-polish calculator.")
