For a survey of different definitions of the operators mod and rem and things
like that, see 

	A. P. Chang
	A note on the modulo operator
	SIGPLAN Notices, April 1985, pp 19-23

	Gary A. Hill

	(Contains a remark to Chang's paper)

The paper by Chang also contains a list of which definition is used in which
programming language.
