Hi,
The pound (£) and the euro (€) work on my (UK) keyboard.
They also work in ordinary windows apps. I have windows
set up to know I'm in the UK, for spelling, input and output
local, time format, date format, etc, etc, etc.
I have "CYGWIN=ntsec tty codepage:oem" in my environment,
I don't know if that makes a difference. Also, I'm using
Win2k SP2.
That's about everything I can think of to help.
Good Luck.
/John Vincent.
