Fellow Javaite:
I'm writing a JAVA business application (not applet) where I have to
perform math on and display dollar/cents amounts.  The primary data
types available (int, float, etc) are rather painful to use for this
purpose.  A data type class of "Decimal" or "Money" seems to be the
right answer.  Has anyone created one of these yet?  I've checked
Gamelan & other "Java junkyards", but to no avail.
Thanks,
Bill Culman
