Re: displaying the EUR-Sign in normal buffers

[ken <ken@cleveland.lug.net>]

You might be right.  I've got some alternate language sets installed.  

Do a gcc on the file below:

<chars.c>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  int i;
  
  for(i = 1; i < 256; i++) 
    printf("%3d\t%3o\t%c\n", i, i, i);
  
}
</chars.c>

then run the executable.  The columns are Decimal, Octal, and the 
corresponding character.  Is octal 244 your Euro sign?


hth,
