I found out that the result of 6 MOD -90 in my little Pascal Program on Windows is -84 and on Solaris is 6 (in my opinion the right one). Whats up there ? BTW : My Calculator HP48 says that -84 was right ??? A matter of definition ?

Actually, it's defined as an error when the right operand is <=0. So probably we should implement such a check in GPC (perhaps together with other kinds of range or overflow checking). If in your program the right operand is a variabls which might be negative, I suggest to use `Abs' (i.e., `a mod Abs (b)'), since a mod b = a mod (-b), according to "your" definition.
