We have a couple of people who would like to compare notes on the
development/implementation of accounting systems in Ingres with anyone
out there who is working on such a project (or has already).

One point of particular interest is rounding and handling rounding error.
Accounting type tend to get really upset when totals don't match, which
can be a problem when working with floating point numbers.

E-mail to me on this subject will get passed along to interested parties
on this end, with a summary to the net later.

                                     Thanks in advance
