AscII-Chart
-----------
AscII-Chart is a very small memory resident utility that helps you paste
Ascii characters (all of them: 0 to 255) directly into your application,
at the cursor position, and "WITHOUT" the "three-digit" number that you
have to enter from the key-pad with the ALT key.
AscII-Chart can also be used to find and paste those extended characters
with tildes, marks and symbols; or the characters needed to form a box,
a rectangle, or even a circle -and AscII-Chart finds them very quickly.
Please read below for more information about it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's NEW with this version
----------------------------
1. A customization utility has been included..
2. AscII-Chart's window scrolling has been modified.. Now, it offers
a smooth ride with almost no blinking.
3. Control Left-Arrow and Control Right-Arrow keys now work some what
different when scrolling AscII-Chart's window.
4. The Home and End keys also work different when in scroll-lock mode,
but with the same results..
5. Video output has been speeded up a bit.
