+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers
+with interactive execution of statements.
+There are some similarities
+in the syntax to the C programming language.
 A standard math library is available by command line option.
 If requested, the math library is defined before processing any files.
-\fBbc\fR starts by processing code from all the files listed
-on the command line in the order listed.  After all files have been
-processed, \fBbc\fR reads from the standard input.  All code is
-executed as it is read.  (If a file contains a command to halt the
-processor, \fBbc\fR will never read from the standard input.)
-.PP
-This version of \fBbc\fR contains several extensions beyond
-traditional \fBbc\fR implementations and the POSIX draft standard.
-Command line options can cause these extensions to print a warning 
-or to be rejected.  This 
-document describes the language accepted by this processor.

-.SS NUMBERS
-The most basic element in \fBbc\fR is the number.  Numbers are
-arbitrary precision numbers.  This precision is both in the integer
-part and the fractional part.  All numbers are represented internally
-in decimal and all computation is done in decimal.  (This version
-truncates results from divide and multiply operations.)  There are two

+There are two attributes of numbers, the length and the scale.
+The length is the
 total number of significant decimal digits in a number and the scale
-is the total number of decimal digits after the decimal point.  For
-example:
-.nf
-.RS
+is the total number of decimal digits after the decimal point.

  .000001 has a length of 6 and scale of 6.
  1935.000 has a length of 7 and a scale of 3.

+.Ss VARIABLES
 Numbers are stored in two types of variables, simple variables and
-arrays.  Both simple variables and array variables are named.  Names
-begin with a letter followed by any number of letters, digits and
-underscores.  All letters must be lower case.  (Full alpha-numeric
-names are an extension. In POSIX \fBbc\fR all names are a single
-lower case letter.)  The type of variable is clear by the context
+arrays.

+The type of variable is clear by the context
 because all array variable names will be followed by brackets ([]).
-.PP
-There are four special variables, \fBscale, ibase, obase,\fR and
-\fBlast\fR.  \fBscale\fR defines how some operations use digits after the
-decimal point.  The default value of \fBscale\fR is 0. \fBibase\fR
-and \fBobase\fR define the conversion base for input and output
-numbers.  The default for both input and output is base 10.
-\fBlast\fR (an extension) is a variable that has the value of the last
-printed number.  These will be discussed in further detail where
-appropriate.  All of these variables may have values assigned to them

-.SS COMMENTS
-Comments in \fBbc\fR start with the characters \fB/*\fR and end with
-the characters \fB*/\fR.  Comments may start anywhere and appear as a
-single space in the input.  (This causes comments to delimit other
-input items.  For example, a comment can not be found in the middle of
-a variable name.)  Comments include any newlines (end of line) between

-.SS EXPRESSIONS
-The numbers are manipulated by expressions and statements.  Since
-the language was designed to be interactive, statements and expressions
-are executed as soon as possible.  There is no "main" program.  Instead,
-code is executed as it is encountered.  (Functions, discussed in

-The legal values of \fBibase\fR are 2 through 36.  (Base values
-greater than 16 are an extension.) Assigning a value outside this
-range to \fBibase\fR will result in a value of 2 or 36.  Input numbers

+Single digit numbers always
 have the value of the digit regardless of the value of
-\fBibase\fR. (i.e. A = 10.)  For multi-digit numbers, \fBbc\fR changes
-all input digits greater or equal to ibase to the value of
-\fBibase\fR-1.  This makes the number \fBZZZ\fR always be the largest
-3 digit number of the input base.

+.Pp
 Full expressions are similar to many other high level languages.
 Since there is only one kind of number, there are no rules for mixing
-types.  Instead, there are rules on the scale of expressions.  Every
-expression has a scale.  This is derived from the scale of original
+types.

 numbers, the operation performed and in many cases, the value of the
-variable \fBscale\fR. Legal values of the variable \fBscale\fR are
-0 to the maximum number representable by a C integer.
