Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU bc 1.06 uploaded
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of GNU bc 1.06 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

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.

This version was written to be a POSIX compliant BC processor with
several extensions to the draft standard.  Option flags are available
to cause warning or rejection of the extensions to the POSIX standard.
For those who want only POSIX BC with no extensions, a grammar is
provided for exactly the language described in the POSIX document.
The grammar (sbc.y) comes from the POSIX document.  The Makefile
contains rules to make SBC.  (for Standard BC)

The package also contains DC. DC is a reverse-polish desk calculator
which supports unlimited precision arithmetic.  It also allows you
to define and call macros.

DJGPP specific changes.
=======================

  This port is based on bc105as.zip so most of the changes are
  the same as in the previous port. All other changes are to
  fix compiler warnings and makeinfo warnings and to fix a bug
  in the configure.in script that prevents the building of sbc.
  All changes I have done against the original GNU distribution
  are documented in the diffs file stored in the djgpp subdir
  of the source package.




  Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to

  Bug reports concerning bc and dc must be send to
