22 years agoFinally added proper support for the upcoming European currency
Joey Schulze [Sat, 17 Nov 2001 15:12:03 +0000 (15:12 +0000)]
Finally added proper support for the upcoming European currency
``Euro''.  There's a define DEFAULT_EURO which can be turned on by
third parties if they would like to default to Euro instead of DM.
Some time in 2002 I will probably remove that define, remove any
mentioning of DM and let the program default to Euro.

To activate Euro with this code, simply add the keyword ``Euro'' to
the A record (the begin { ... } record).  All values are calculated in
Euro then.

 . Added little bit of documentation

 . Changed dtaus file.  C18 contains the number of expansion records:
   00..15.  However, normally no expansion record is used, thus I
   believe that the value has to be 00, even if a Text is given which
   is stored in *the current* record.  This has been changed from 01
   to 00 in this version.  I wonder why no credit institute was
   screaming because of this.

 . Added support for expansion records used to store additional text
   fields.  Their format is very simple, hence no new routines for
   writing and preparation are added.

   of the respective record C as well as another calculation for the
