Editing BCU task-centric program list

[[Image:Fotolia_11174449_XS.jpg|right|]]
List of '''Basic Cube Utilities''' (BCU) in Madagascar. Operations listed here can throw away data or fill in with zeros, but should not create new values or alter existing ones -- those belong to the [[NM task-centric program program_list | Numerical Methods program list]].

An overview of all task-centric pages can be found in the main [[Task-centric program list]].

'''All program names below should be prefixed with "sf".'''
