Problem:

Release: 3.1   Mmmm, always a tricky one this.  Firstly, you will need to have fonts installed on the PC that contain a Euro symbol.  Microsoft have these available for download on their website.

Resolution:

The next thing is the IDE.  I am not sure if any of the OEM fonts contain the Euro symbol.  If not, then you will need to switch the editor to ANSI mode before you enter the symbol (you might have to do this via the Character Map utility).

The next problem is displaying the symbol!  Dialog System runs in ANSI mode so this should not be a problem.  However, the console does not and you may find that you need to convert the strings before you display them (ANSI to OEM APIs).  However, if there is no console font that contains a Euro symbol then you may be stuck!

Net Express will display the fonts that it can use in the editor based on the OEM/ANSI setting and mono-spaced.

Your Courier New font should contain a Euro symbol if you have applied Microsoft's Euro support pack (my NT4 installation does).  I am not sure if Microsoft provided this for Windows 95 - I would have thought so.
