return values from mod

Hello all,

I am using Maxima 5.9.1 and I was just wondering if it is possible, or
if there is any plan to, give mod(m,n), with m and n integers, the
ability to return values between 0 and n-1 rather than smallest
magnitude values?

For certain applications I would prefer it to return values between 0
and n-1. The references I found in the mail archives indicate that you
need to create your own function to do this, and I will certainly do
that if I haven't missed functionality that is already available and if
there are no plans for an enhancement.

Thanks for the work you do on Maxima, Bob
