- Coherent supports the same character set as MS-DOS so you can use the
- full complement of the IBM extended character set. If you need an ASCII
- table, use this quick 'n routine:
-
- for(i = 32; i < 256; i++)
- printf("%03d = %c ", i, (char) i);
-
- Adjust the number of spaces after %c to get everything to line up in nice
- neat columns, and change %03d to %03x for hex, or (I think) %03o for octal
- (been a while since I fiddled with octal).
