At home, where I use MS Works (4.51 IIRC) and Windows 95 (with Y2K and Euro patches) the new year brought a bad surprise (or should I say: revealed a severe design error in MS Works?): When I changed, in the Windows system locale, the monetary setting to Euros, all monetary amounts in all my Works spreadsheeds were effektively multiplied by 1.95583 (i. e., Works simply displayed an €-sign in place of the former "DM"). Incredible! Best wishes, Otto Stolz
