It occurs to me that there are many many people who just stare at their
keyboards and punch the keys they see. These same people may be confused
by all those numbers on the existing chart. So I have revised the
standard ASCII character chart.

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
