If you plan on posting pictures here with anything but "standard ascii", think again! People here only like the "must use" characters in this table: =================================================================== }| No, no, no, MUSTN'T use these: |{ }| |{ }| 0 NUL| 1 SOH| 2 STX| 3 ETX| 4 EOT| 5 ENQ| 6 ACK| 7 BEL|{ }| 8 BS | 9 HT | 10 NL | 11 VT | 12 NP | 13 CR | 14 SO | 15 SI |{ }| 16 DLE| 17 DC1| 18 DC2| 19 DC3| 20 DC4| 21 NAK| 22 SYN| 23 ETB|{ }| 24 CAN| 25 EM | 26 SUB| 27 ESC| 28 FS | 29 GS | 30 RS | 31 US |{ }| | |{ }|---------------------------------------------------------------|{ }| Yes, yes, yes, MUST use these: |{ }| |{ }| 32 SP | 33 ! | 34 " | 35 # | 36 $ | 37 % | 38 & | 39 ' |{ }| 40 ( | 41 ) | 42 * | 43 + | 44 , | 45 - | 46 . | 47 / |{ }| 48 0 | 49 1 | 50 2 | 51 3 | 52 4 | 53 5 | 54 6 | 55 7 |{ }| 56 8 | 57 9 | 58 : | 59 ; | 60 < | 61 = | 62 > | 63 ? |{ }| 64 @ | 65 A | 66 B | 67 C | 68 D | 69 E | 70 F | 71 G |{ }| 72 H | 73 I | 74 J | 75 K | 76 L | 77 M | 78 N | 79 O |{ }| 80 P | 81 Q | 82 R | 83 S | 84 T | 85 U | 86 V | 87 W |{ }| 88 X | 89 Y | 90 Z | 91 [ | 92 \ | 93 ] | 94 ^ | 95 _ |{ }| 96 ` | 97 a | 98 b | 99 c |100 d |101 e |102 f |103 g |{ }|104 h |105 i |106 j |107 k |108 l |109 m |110 n |111 o |{ }|112 p |113 q |114 r |115 s |116 t |117 u |118 v |119 w |{ }|120 x |121 y |122 z |123 { |124 | |125 } |126 ~ | |{ }|---------------------------------------------------------------|{ }| No, no, no, MUST'NT use this one either: |{ }| |127 DEL|{ =================================================================== Anything that is not in the "must use" section in the table will cause long, pointless threads here and possibly some nasty letters in your mailbox... (the reason is that characters that don't belong to that particular group will look different on different computers, even in different programs on the same computer, and in some cases they can have unpredictable and undesired effects on some computers...) -- :) Veronica Karlsson ( e93...@sm.luth.se http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ )
