I am working on an algorithum that needs the use of LARGE extened percision
numbers ( 66^77 which is about 160 digits ).  These are similar to the values
which can be computed with the command "bc" or "maxima".  The code is prefered
in C or in Pascal.

Anyone that has written a pow() function that handles numbers like this,
please forward your responses.
