Does arbitrary precision arithmetic language (bc) exist in Cygwin

[Ammar Hassan]

Hi,
	I've been converting some tests scripts I have from a Solaris OS to
a Win32 environment using Cygwin. I've managed to work out problems such as
making Cygwin detect the script files I have, and some other problems as
well. Within these scripts they use a program called "bc" which is part of
the Solaris installation. It's meant to be some sort of implementation of an
"arbitrary precision calculator" which takes input from a file and processes
a "language that resembles C" upon the script. I'm not totally sure what bc
does, really but the script files I'm converting use it a lot. 
 	Unfortunately I've not been able to find out the Cygwin equivalent
of "bc", or if it even exists at all. Could anyone help me with this? Has
such a program been created for Cygwin or is there no implementation of this
sort of program at all? Thanks for your help.
