No, but then why is this a factor? Java has a BigDecimal but it isn't quite what you think it might be. Many (financial) organizations create their own. They tend to treat them as asset rather than infrastructure. I know of two C++ ones in this category. If having a decimal feature in the standard library, or at least easily available as a third-party library, would aide D traction, then maybe it should go on the "let's get this done now" agenda? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
