I need a decimal arithmetics library

Rein Anders Apeland

Hi all,

We are developing a PoS application for Linux and are in need of a LGPL'ed
og other 'free'-licensed library
that can do exact decimal arithmetics for us.

It should be similar or according to the specs at
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/

Somebody pointed my to the GNU Multiple Precision library, but that still
uses binary floating points.
I really need a library that can handle e.g. 0.1 exactly... at any
precision...

Anyone know of such a library?

Google is your friend

Search phrase: C++ exact arithmetic library

The second link it comes up with:
