ASC Jeff Prosise
Purpose: Provides a pop-up ASCII chart showing decimal, hexadecimal, and
character equivalents for the full IBM character set.
Format: [d:][path]ASC
Remarks: ASC.COM is a memory-resident utility that is normally loaded at
boot-up, via your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Once loaded, pressing Alt-A
pops up the first page (32 ASCII codes) of the display window over
any currently active applications program. The Up- and Down-Arrow,
PgUp and PgDn, and Home and End keys access the remaining ASCII
display pages. Pressing Esc closes the window, restoring the
original screen display.
In operation, ASC.COM requires approximately 2.5K of RAM. It is
compatible with most applications and TSR (terminate and stay
resident) programs that do not themselves require the Alt-A key
combination, and it may be used with monochrome, color, or EGA
monitors.
Notes: Users familiar with using DEBUG can modify the default border, text,
and header colors of ASC.COM. These values, initially 0Fh, 1Fh, and
1Eh, respectively, are located at offsets 014D through 014F in the
.COM file. For use with a composite monochrome display, the values
70h, 07h, and 07h are suggested.
