EBCDIC ones put different currency symbols on the same code pointsSo:- I wrote
this as one dollar => $1.00This as one pound => $1And this as one euro =>
€1Lastly one cent => ¢1 I expect you all get that as sent except for perhaps
the Euro which didn't exist when Peters VAX was built....... but on an old UK
EBCDIC mainframe Dollar becomes Pound and Cent becomes dollar. This was a real
pain as a UK user of Bitnet. Dave > Let me get this straight. If I stop using
