--- Comment #5 from b. <newbie-02 at gmx.de> ---
calc 7.1 produces '0' as result, without notice of 'error' or 'overflow' ...
critical ... 

is this substitution correct? 

MOD(26^15;77) = MOD((MOD(26^5;77)*MOD(26^5;77)*MOD(26^5;77));77)

if ... where is the problem for calc or devs to implement that ('split too big
arguments') and deliver correct results? it's been nearly 9 years time for that
... 

and: ... 'better precision than ex$el' would be a great marketing gag ... 

@Markus Mohrhard: 'standard' and similar are good strong arguments, but not an
excuse for 'everything', and not for wrong results ...
