If the poster had advertised a charset of iso-8859-15 (aka latin-9), then it would have been a Euro. But since he didn't say what charset he was posting, it's anyone's guess. My Windows displayed it in its default character set (codepage 1252), which is similar to iso-8859-1 -- and there's it's just the "currency symbol". Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
