No no no, my division was bad,.. But you really shouldn`t ever use the
blitz ^ (power) operator. It sucks beyond belief, and it`ll cause more
problems than it solves, on other machines..
Try something like,
NPrint 10^2
And see what it gives you.
The power operator seems to give some very weird results on other
machines and I`ll never use it again..
Anyone know why this is?
