+The Flaming Bovine Befunge-98 Interpreter (FBBI) is an interpreter for
+the Befunge-98 language as defined by the Funge-98 Final Specification,
+written in 100% ANSI C.
+
+Funge-98 is the most elaborate update so far of the Befunge language,
+Funge-98 generalizes Befunge for one, two, or three dimensions, and
+provides a paradigm for Funges of any number of dimensions and
+topologies. It also provides arbitrary program flow direction on a
+virtually limitless playfield, and a richer, scalable instruction set
+with an optional Concurrent version for multithreading.
+
+The Befunge programming language was created in 1993 by Chris Pressey
+for the purpose of being original, entertaining, and hard-to-compile.
+
+In most languages, control flow is restricted to one direction and one
+dimension only: any instruction which does not perform an explicit jump
+actually performs an implicit jump to the next instruction.
+
+Befunge, however, allows execution to proceed in less restricted
+fashion; the program is stored in a two-dimensional grid and control
+can flow left or right, or up, or down...
