See the short review by Walter D. Neumann in the March _Notices
of the AMS_.  Version 8.15 includes exact rational arithmetic and
polynomial arithmetic.  Other features are discussed in the review
article.  I haven't checked this, but UBASIC is supposed to be
available by anonymous ftp from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil and maybe
shape.mps.ohio-state.edu.
