>> The standard method if you are going to code it yourself is to multiply
by 100, add 0.5, truncate the decimal portion, then divide by 100. <<

That's for the nearest cent... I think what our friend actually wants is
something like:

double newValue = Math.floor(origValue * 20.0) / 20.0;

Note that this is always rounding down to the nearest .05.  If you want to
round up or round to nearest then use Math.ceil() or Math.round(),
respectively.
