We decided not to make our own rewrite of the specifications for the new BigDecimal, as we follow IBM's specification so faithfully. We therefor refer you to http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal or http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/formula). Note that this Java implementation follows the decimal arithmetic defined in the ANSI standard X3.274-1996 (American National Standard for Information Technology – Programming Language REXX, X3.274-1996, American National Standards Institute, New York, 1996).
