Parrot bc?

[Ron Blaschke]

I'm feeling rather dumb asking this, but F<config/auto/bc.pl> says:

Currently GNU bc is only used for doublechecking Parrot bc.

Now, my question is: Where is "Parrot bc?"

"Parrot bc" is sitting on my local disk, being very disfunctional.
I'll check it in, as soon as it does something useful.

It will Python code generated by ANTLR, and the problem is that I know
neither ANTLR nor Python.

I see.

Oh, now I see why the ANTLR and Python tests are in. ;-)

I've asked about this, because with r8305 "...the 'bc' config test
hangs on Win32." Well, it seems to work fine on my Win32 box. I
guess I shouldn't care about this, but I would like to provide a Win32
test box, with all possible optional things installed. Is this, well,
out of focus?

C:\>bc -v
bc 1.06

Determining whether python is installed.........................yes, 2.4.1.
Determining whether antlr is installed....................yes, with python.
Determining whether GNU bc is installed................................yes.
