Nexel EuroKey - Version 1.0 On January 1st 1999 the European Currency has become a fact. The new currency has its own sign, "€". This character is normally only to make using Alt+0128. Not very convenient, but when start this little nifty program you can simply press Alt+4 to get a "€" in every program. Thus: Shift+4 will give you the dollar-sign "$", Alt+4 wil give you the Euro-sign "€".
