ASCII help chart

[Richard Kreiss]

Top post:

I was comparing the ASCII chart fpTech supplied with one in a book I had
since DOS days for writing batch files copyright 1989.  So you are probably
correct as to the CodePage being supplied.

I could dig  around dome of my other books which have various CodePages
listed.
