If you are familiar with programming shell scripts, you can modify all
computations to use "bc" instead of the shell build-ins. Just an
example, how you can use it:
errror@bfs:~> size=1999999999999999
errror@bfs:~> current=4096
errror@bfs:~> echo "$size + $current" | bc
2000000000004095
errror@bfs:~> all=`echo "$size + $current" | bc`
errror@bfs:~> echo $all
2000000000004095
See the man-page for further details. bc is quiet complex!
