    NAME
         pow - floating exponentiation

    SYNOPSIS
         movf x,fr0
         movf y,fr1
         jsr  pc,pow

         double pow(x,y)
         double x, y;

    DESCRIPTION
         Pow  returns the value of xy (in fr0).  Pow(0.0, y) is 0 for
         any y. Pow(-x, y) returns a result only if y is an integer.

    SEE ALSO
         exp(III), log(III)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         The  carry  bit  is  set  on  return  in  case  of overflow,
         pow(0.0, 0.0), or pow(-x, y) for  non-integral  y.   From  C
         there is no diagnostic.
