x86_64 note: obcpl doesn't require multilib on Slackware64. It only
generates 32-bit x86 code, but the binaries it creates are 100%
statically linked, and will run fine on Slackware64 without multlib.

+The package includes:
+
+- The BCPL compiler itself (/usr/bin/obcpl and the support files in
+ /usr/lib(64)?/obcpl)
+- The utilities:
+ - obcpl-cmpltest: compiler test
+ - obcpl-gpm: macro generator
+ - obcpl-xref: cross referencer
+- The sources for the utilities
+- Example code (Hello World and a factorial calculator)
+- The obcpl documentation, including manual.txt and standard.txt
