I've got some alternate language sets installed. Do a gcc on the file below: #include main() { int i; for(i = 1; i < 256; i++) printf("%3d\t%3o\t%c\n", i, i, i); } then run the executable. The columns are Decimal, Octal, and the corresponding character. Is octal 244 your Euro sign? hth, ken -- AMD crashes? See http://cleveland.lug.net/~ken/amd-problem/.
