db-lib DBNUMERIC structure

Hi,
there is sybdb.h

typedef struct          dbnumeric
{
    char               precision;
    char               scale;
    unsigned char      val[MAXNUMLEN];
} DBNUMERIC;

for retrieving exact numeric data.

But I can not find, how to interpret/read "val" array to construct number.

I found article from Microsoft db-lib: 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222831
But it seems, that Microsoft start from index 0 from low significant 
values to high significant.

In case of FreeTDS it seems, that order is reversed and somehow shifted 
(based on precision).

Can somebody explain how to correctly construct value ?

Thanks
-Laco.
