I very much appreciate your additional comments. There was some valuable
incremental information in what you posted.

To be honest, we weren't considering international shipments but rather how
currency would be registered internally within each country, using their own
national currency symbols, in the most commonly used traditional fashion. But as
the currency codes are just three-letter combinations, they can easily be
added by the user. We're putting this information into two of our products,
QCReport (the new, platform-agnostic version of QueryCalc) and CUSoon, a corporate
emailer. They both have nearly identical equation interpretation engines in
them.

Thanks again,

Wirt Atmar
