This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of the FSF's GNU bc and dc
utilities. GNU bc is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary
precision. GNU dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports
unlimited precision arithmetic. bc was written by Phil Nelson, Ken Pizzini
wrote dc.
bc was previously maintained by Bill Mitchell, Austin Donnelly and James
Troup. The current package was put together Dirk Eddelbuettel
<edd@debian.org> from the GNU sources from
ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/gnu/bc-1.05a.tar.gz.
Changes are documented in the changelog.Debian file, and below.
James Troup, the previous maintainer made the following changes :-
o adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding
various debian/* files.
o bc/scan.l (rc_len): define as int not char, to allow input > 128
characters in length without crashing.
o configure.in: changed test for readline to use READLINELIB and not
LIBS so we can link just bc with readline (as dc doesn't use it).
o bc/Makefile.am (LDADD): add @READLINELIB@
