I seem to remember seeing/reading/hearing something about ANSI updating the Pascal standard to include a built in power function. Actually, to use base**exponent as in Fortran. Is this true, or was I just hallucinating?? If it is true, does anyone know if Turbo 6.0 will have that as well? Just curious... Mike Castle

Actually, it has added two new operations. ** to raise things to real powers and POW to raise things to integer powers. --- John Reagan Digital Equipment Corporation reagan@hiyall.enet.dec.com Disclaimer: The opinions and statements expressed by me are not necessarily those of Digital Equipment Corporation. ---
