ASCII Version 2.OO
By: Nick Zaikin Jr.
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research
Purpose
The 'ASCII' TSR program is for viewing ASCII table
and for entering any ASCII character. You may choose character from
table on screen, or directly type its code (in octal,
decimal or hex radix). The program also extends standard
'Alt-input' method by displaying the ASCII table in this case
too.
For any character, its code, mnemonic name (if exists), and
appropriate CRT color attribute are displayed.
Starting a program
Command line format:
ASCII [switches...]
All switches are optional.
If no one is given, a program stays resident with a default
hot key Alt-Del.
Switches:
/H, /? = display help screen
/BW = force black & white colors
/CO = force 'display color attribute' option
(same as pressing F4 after calling TSR)
/F:xx = shift state for hot key (hex);
default value = 08 (Alt)
/S:xx = scan code for hot key (hex);
default value = 53 (Del)
/R:<O|D|H> = force radix to octal, decimal, or hex
default = hex
Using a program
If you are not changed the default hot key, you may pop-up
ASCII by pressing Alt-Del.
After that, you'll see on screen an ASCII table with moving
cursor:

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The following keys may be used:
Arrows, Home, End,
PgUp, PgDn - moving a cursor
Enter - enter current char and exit
Esc - exit without entering
0, 1, .. 9, A, B, .., F - enter char code
BackSpace - delete last digit of code
Space - clear char code
Select radix:
F1 - octal
F2 - decimal
F3 - hex
F4 - toggle displaying color attributes
The program also supports standard Alt-input method of entering
characters. If you press Alt and number on a keypad, the program
will behave the same way except you must hold down Alt while entering
code (in current radix, of course!).
In this mode, Enter and Esc keys won't work, so you cannot cancel.
