Subject: WARNING: Control Codes

===================================================================

                               WARNING        Revised 11 Jan 98

====================================================================


*** HTML added ****


Control Codes:
-------------

PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control Codes, HTML or Animation
Codes to ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup.

It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide.

If you do wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first !

Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be
avoided entirely.



Extended Character Set:
----------------------

The only Ascii characters which should be posted and used in Ascii
Art are:
               Decimal characters   32 to 127.

The Extended Character Set of Decimal 128 to 255 made by using the
Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before
posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures.

The Decimal Characters 0 to 32 are control codes and should not
be used in ASCII artwork.




                Here is a chart of ascii characters:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

           The ones you mustn't use are control codes.



====================================================================


Please do NOT post Colour & Color Control Codes in message headers
and titles.


     The problems are due to some Net software recognising the
     Raw Code as commands which make the software do unwanted
     things and can even cause a system to crash.


====================================================================
This message is being reposted frequently because many newcomers
to the Net do not seem to know the problems caused by Control Codes
used for Color, HTML, Animations etc.
