+This directory contains calc++, a simple Bison grammar file in C++.
+
+Please, read the corresponding chapter in the documentation: "A Complete C++
+Example".  It is also available on line (maybe with a different version of
+Bison):
+https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/A-Complete-C_002b_002b-Example.html
+
+To use it, copy this directory into some work directory, and run `make` to
+compile the executable, and try it.  It is a simple calculator which accepts
+several variable definitions, one per line, and then a single expression to
+evaluate.
+
+The program calc++ expects the file to parse as argument; pass `-` to read
+the standard input (and then hit <Ctrl-d>, control-d, to end your input).
+
+$ ./calc++ -
+one := 1
+two := 2
+three := 3
+(one + two * three) * two * three
+<Ctrl-d>
+42
+
+You may pass `-p` to activate the parser debug traces, and `-s` to activate
+the scanner's.
