Re: ASCII fades

DOS ASCII (as well as Windows's basic Western/ISO-Latin-1) has 255
characters.  (Or so.)

We don't use the extended characters (i.e., beyond 128) or the control
characters (i.e. 7 (bell) 127 (backspace i think) etc..)

There is a windows program called "Character Map" that comes in every
version of Windows I've ever seen, and it will list out the first 255
characters in every font installed on your system.

As for a DOS listing, er, well...

Try running this through QBASIC:

FOR U=0 to 255
PRINT CHR$(U)
PRINT
NEXT

That oughta show you the characters in your DOS font.  (Totally untested
code.)
