This is not quite right, you CAN send the euro sign on Winpack, you
just have, as I'm seeing it here:-) it is the character code 80Hex.
YOU may not see the correct character if the font/character set that
Winpack is using doesn't contain that symbol, but I can display it
correctly simply by selecting any character set that contains the
euro symbol as 80Hex.
No one can actually 'SEND' any particular text character, they can
only send an 8 bit code, it is entirely up to the receiver how they
display that code, you have no control over that. We are lucky at
least the codes below 80 hex are still reasonably standardised :-)
though my BBC model B uses 60Hex for the pound sign :-(
