Thanks Chris. One thing to note is that this would be slower than the
cbrt "c" function that can be hardware optimized. But it does solve
my problem. One thing I was thinking was that if a were a complex,
can you take a**(1/3.0)? What is the cube root of a complex? Its been
a long time since I've had to do any complex algebra? Do you think it
would be worth it to add this function on those platforms that
support it?

I just Echo'd Compute("8**(1/3.0)") and got 2.
The trick was (as always) to force the denominator to float, else you get 1.

I was going to add the cbrt function to Compute, I really needed it
today--so I did. Problem is, that cbrt is not available on all
platforms. Anybody know of a good place to look for an algorithm
for cbrt that could be included in OpenDX?
