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).

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