All right.  My calc does i to any power from 1 to 6 perfectly fine (i^2
is -1, i^3 is -i, i^4 is 1, i^5 is i, and i^6 is -1) BUT....i^7
= -3E-13-i!!! It should be -i! i^101 spits out 4.9E-12+i, but ((i^4)^25)*i =
i, like it should!  What is wrong, and is there any program that can do this
(take the number, divide it down so that it can be i^2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and
that to whatever power to make it i^x...)

Thanks
