SUMMARY
=======

Windows 95 supports various currency grouping options in the Regional Settings
utility in Control Panel. However, it does not currently provide functionality
for "3/2" currency grouping.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Some countries (such as the United States) use three digits to group currency.
For example:

  $123,456,789.00

Some countries (such as India and Pakistan) use three digits in the first group,
and two digits in all subsequent groups. For example:

  $12,34,56,789.00

Windows 95 provides support for grouping digits in groups of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, or 10. It does not currently provide a secondary grouping option.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
