The NetWare client converts file and directory names from ANSI to OEM codepages before sending them to the server. The client performs this conversion only for Windows applications, Windows Explorer, NWAdmin, etc.; there is no conversion for DOS applications.
Since the Euro character is not supported in any of the OEM codepages and it is supported in the ANSI codepages, Novell chose 0xCC to represent the character on the server. The line-drawing character that previously occupied that space is essentially removed from the character set, since line-drawing characters cannot be used in file names. (The line-drawing characters can be used to create files in DOS, but not in Windows.)
See oemeuro.c for sample code.
