+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+nickle: not translate easily are different, some design choices have been made
+nickle: differently, and a very few features are simply missing. Nickle pro-
+nickle: vides the functionality of UNIX bc, dc and expr in much-improved form.
