    (description
     "Nickle is a programming language based prototyping environment with
powerful programming and scripting capabilities.  Nickle supports a
variety of datatypes, especially arbitrary precision numbers.
The programming language vaguely resembles C.  Some things in C which do
not translate easily are different, some design choices have been made
differently, and a very few features are simply missing.
Nickle provides the functionality of UNIX bc, dc and expr in much-improved
 form.  It is also an ideal environment for prototyping complex algorithms.
Nickle's scripting capabilities make it a nice replacement for spreadsheets
in some applications, and its numeric features nicely complement the
limited numeric functionality of text-oriented languages such as AWK and
PERL.")
