As an example of the difference, try rounding =1110*0.0865 to 2 decimal
places with microsoft's bround function and my ASTMround. Microsoft's
bround will round 96.0150000000000 to 96.01, where my ASTMround will
correctly round it to 96.02. Another example of the difference is
referenced in that post.

There are many other flavors. See
