The <em>logb</em> operator returns the logarithm of its first argument using 
the second argument as base. However, unlike 
<A HREF=r37_0088.html>log</A>, there are no 
algebraic rules associated with it; it will only evaluate when 

<A HREF=r37_0330.html>rounded</A> is on, and the first argument is a real number
.
