    Mod 97, 10, Mod 11, 10 and Mod 37, 36

Note that the ISO/IEC 7064 functions were not implemented using the ISO
text itself because the text is not available for free. These functions
were implemented based on information on the algorithms found online and
some reverse engineering. If anyone can provide a legal copy of the
ISO/IEC 7064 standard these functions can be validated and maybe
