- Cc: (BUG LISP) at MIT-MC, johan at PARC-MAXC2, Admin.MRC at SU-SCORE tried to get data from AC 1 instead of AC 2; so that some hand-coded functions were unable to link to them. EDIT is such a hand-coded package.

Why does
(EXPT -2.0 2) => 4.0
but
(EXPT -2.0 2.0) =>
;-2.0 NON-POS ARG - LOG
Yes, I do understand that logs are getting called to do this operation,
but can't the sign be hacked by EXPT before passing it to LOG? Tnx. -kmp
