Hi Tex. The paragraph below is from
http://microsoft.com/technet/topics/Euro/mseuropaper/mseuropaper4.htm
"Microsoft plans no product updates for any versions of the MS-DOS operating
system. We are currently planning to release a euro bitmap font for Windows
3.1x and Windows for Workgroups 3.1x. When this is available, it will be
posted. Third-party solutions are available now to support the euro symbol
in Windows 3.1x. "
There are euro-updates available for Win95 and NT4 (Win98 and NT5 are
already euro compliant). See the web site http://microsoft.com/euro/ for
details.

Subject: Euro on DOS codepages.
This question came my way:
Are the DOS codepages updated for the Euro?
I know about IBM 858, but this is for OS/2, and DOS is a Microsoft thing
these days. A customer relying on DOS programs is asking how to address
his requirements for printing Euro and other work with Euro in his DOS
applications.
Is MS doing anything for DOS users?
