While using GPC (both an older version and a more current version, info at bottom) the results of using the pow operator were not always correct (as shown in the typescript, results were same regardless of system). System #1

uname -a SunOS csd 5.7 Generic_106541-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 gpc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lang/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.8.1/specs gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1

System #2

uname -a SunOS cse 5.8 Generic_108528-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 gpc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3/specs gpc version 20010623, based on 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

Thanks, Fazel P.S. I apologize in the event that this this infact is not an error or I have emailed the wrong party.
