EVALUATION JSR13 is considering adding a pow method which took two BigInteger arguments; that would subsume the requested functionality. ###@###.### 2001-11-01 Jsr13 is not including a generalized pow method in Tiger. Such a method may be added in a future release. Jsr13 is including a pow method which takes an integer argument (4851776). ###@###.### 2003-09-08
