Hard to say.  Windows users insert \200 when they press the Euro sign on
their keybord, Linux users enter \244.  Since we're mostly Linux, the
\244 should be the Euro.  

| If not, then it does seem like you want to use windows-1252 (which is
| a perfectly normal coding-system,

Since the Umlauts are at the same positions in latin-9 and windows-1252
we might as well use cp1252, but then the Linux-Euro will get displayed
as a crossed 'o'... well...

I'd say lets end this thread.  We can work with emacs and xemacs again
after re-enabling multibyte mode, and using the proper default
encoding.

Thanks again
