[KCDXC] SLASH ZERO

[Missouri Guy, N0TT]

Not only that, there's a bunch of other characters that can
be typed....see any Windows "Character Map" in the Programs/Accessories
"folder" or "directory".  One will find the Ø in there too, should
it ever be forgotten.  :)

BTW, some e-mail program, etc operating under systems other than
Windows *may* not translate the slashed zero properly.

73,
Charlie   NØTT
