There are the opcodes ipow, kpow and apow.

	I am trying to raise a number to a power within Csound, (say 2 to
the power of .04) and as far as I can tell there is no quick arithmetical
operator to do this. The only operator I can find is exp(). Does anybody
have a quick fudge for doing this?

exp(0.04*log(2)) will do it. e.g. x^y = exp(y*log(x))
