Hard to say.  Windows users insert \200 when they press the Euro sign on
their keybord, Linux users enter \244.  Since we're mostly Linux, the
\244 should be the Euro.

Since the Umlauts are at the same positions in latin-9 and windows-1252
we might as well use cp1252, but then the Linux-Euro will get displayed
as a crossed 'o'... well...

I'd say lets end this thread.  We can work with emacs and xemacs again
after re-enabling multibyte mode, and using the proper default
encoding.

Thanks again
