ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
CodeTable/2 is a reference tool containing information pertaining to the ASCII
code table. Each code is shown in decimal, hexadecimal and binary formats. If a
glyph (the graphic assigned to an ASCII value) exists for the code, it is
shown. Optionally, mnemonics can be displayed in place of glyphs for those
codes which are controls (e.g. carriage return, line feed, transmission control
codes, etc.). The full control name or a zoomed view of the glyph can be
displayed in a pop-up window by clicking on a row with the right mouse button.
Selected codes can also be copied or appended to the clipboard.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Copy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The selected ASCII code is copied to the clipboard replacing the current
contents of the clipboard. This feature can be used to obtain the ASCII value
for characters which do not appear on the keyboard so the value can be pasted
into a document.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Append ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The selected ASCII code is appended to the current contents of the clipboard.
This feature can be used to obtain the ASCII value for characters which do not
appear on the keyboard so the value can be pasted into a document.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Show control codes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Many of the values which comprise the ASCII code table also have special
meaning as control codes. The names of many control codes suggest their
teletype lineage such as the familiar Carriage Return and Line Feed (new line).
Other codes such as ACKnowledgement and SYNchronize are used to control data
transmission.
By default, the glyph assigned to each code is displayed. However, by selecting
the Show control codes menu item, a 2 or 3 character mnemonic will be displayed
in place of a glyph for those codes which also act as controls. The codes which
perform double duty as controls are values 1 through 31 and 127 (0x01 through
0x1f and 0x7f).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The standard OS/2 font selection dialog is displayed. The font specified will
be used to display zoomed views of glyphs when detailed information is
requested.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Displaying detailed information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
By clicking the right mouse button on a particular row, detailed information
can be displayed. For code values which are not controls, a zoomed view of the
glyph is displayed in a pop-up window. For controls, a pop-up menu is
displayed, from which you can choose to display the full name of the control or
a zoomed view of the glyph. Moving the pointer over the pop-up window when a
glyph is being displayed will show the name of the currently selected font.
Clicking the left mouse button will hide the pop-up window.
