+in some aspects to BC, Matlab, Maple or Mathematica. It
+is useful both as a simple calculator and as a research
+or educational tool. The syntax is very intuitive and
+is designed to mimic how mathematics is usually written.
+
+Definite dependencies: rarian (as scrollkeeper replacement)
+is available on SBo.
+
+Optional dependencies: libgnomeui (available on SBo)
+if you have the optional dependencies, pass the variable
+ of GNOME=YES (or anything that isn't NO ;)
