The other question was what currency symbols are included now in
Fortran's character set?
There are no currency symbols in Fortran as such.

While the dollar might be a bit weak these days, last time I checked it
was still a currency. :-)

The problem is all the non-dollar currency symbols.

Yes, I know. I didn't mean to imply that Fortran had all, of even a
significant subset, of the currency symbols. But the claim that it had
"no" currency symbols seemed off by one.
The reference I'm using is for fortran 90, and it looks like I'm well-
advised to check the nitty-gritty details against current practice.
It did include the funky-looking L that John mentions as an example of
a currency symbol that was in the character set. In C, they've got
the character set for the source and another for the execution. I
remember being puzzled by how to characterize backslash null. Is this
a distinction that fortran has as well?

I've just relocated to a city with a half-million people where I know
exactly zero. It's nice to hear friendly voices.
