Some years ago I noticed that the Power operator ** won't always give exactly
the same result as repeated multiplication, as described in 10.2.1. "For
calculating the power, the number is multiplied by itself for the number of
times expressed by the power."
An example is:
rexx -e "N=1.01; P=8; R=1; do P; R*=N; end; say N**P R"
-> 1.08285671 1.08285670

Thank you very much!
Unfortunately I have TRL2 only (incompletely) in my head
I guess this cannot be found in the ooRexx Reference, can it?

"...and finally, trailing zeros are removed (as though the result were divided
by one)."
ooRexx is working according to the language definition.
