This program calculates the successive powers of a matrix, up
to the highest power the user wants. The program takes never
more than three matrices in core, so there is no technical
limitation to the highest power the user asks for - however
one has to take into account the FOCAL precision of 6 digits
and the cumulative effect of rounding-off errors. The order
of the matrix is limited to 6x6; for matrices up to 9x9, the
user has to change the output handling command 01.23.
