The formal review of Bill Seymour's fixed-point decimal library runs 11 July to 21 July 2003 with myself serving as review manager. The library provides a class boost::fixdec::decimal that represents a fixed-point number. Unlike "double" or other floating-point representations, a fixed-point number has a fixed number of decimal digits. Together with explicit rounding control, this prevents surprise from rounding errors, for example in financial applications. The library is available in the boost files section at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/fixdecv22.zip The library has been successfully compiled on MSVC. (There should be an update shortly that allows compilation with como and gcc 3.3, presumably named fixdecv23.zip.) When submitting reviews, please state explicitly whether or not you think that the library should be accepted into Boost.
