GNU +`bc' (which doesn't rely on a separate `dc') has been available separately +for a couple of years. Eventually this version of `dc' will be merged with +the bc package. + +See comments in the file decimal.c for some limitations in the arbitrary +precision library. It's questionable whether it's worth fixing these +problems since the merged dc will probably use bc's math library instead. +However, you might want to be aware of known problems. + +See the file `INSTALL' for instructions on building and installing dc. + +Please report bugs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. |
