>Latin-1 was also modified to support the Euro symbol (because Latin-1 is 
the default codepage for most European 
>contruies). Both OS/2 and Windows (assuming you're using current versions) 
can display that symbol on the Latin-1 
>codepage.

I'm not sure, but I don't think you're right!

IBM altered CP 850 to include a Euro, but that's not Latin 1!

OS/2 doesn't work in terms of (open) ISO-xxxx charsets, it works 
with (proprietry) IBM Code Pages (it's possible they've defined a 
code page which is equivalent to Latin-1, but I've not come accross
it).

This is what MS have done, The MS "ANSI" Charset (= Win1252 in email
and CP 1004 on OS/2) is v.similar to ISO-Latin-1, it has only a few
chars difference, and they recently added the Euro symbol
(but added it in an area which is normmaly supposed to be 
unused in *all* ISO char sets <sigh>).
