- What European format numbers?
- I use the Country-setting Finland and it works just fine. It defaults
- to 1000 separator space (1 234). The error in free memory comes when
- you delete the 1000 separator, there must be a 1000 separator to show
- the free memory right (then again it can any character or space).
