XASCII v. 3.0

Handy Windows Help File with the ASCII Codes for Windows


Those using ASCII and ASCII-based editors to write Windows-based text
(even Message Boxes) and Help files have probably 
discovered that the Extended ASCII characters (numbers 127 to 255) print out 
differently on Windows® Files.  That  ® symbol, for example, is not even 
in the ASCII set, but you get it in Windows by typing in ASCII 
character number 174 (The double left arrow [«]). If you want the double left 
arrow in most Windows files, you have to type in the ASCII character number 171 
which is normally the one-half (˝).  And so ad infinitum!

XASCII.HLP is simply a help file which you can open just like any other Windows
Help file. It contains the ASCII numbers and their characters AS THEY APPEAR
in WINDOWS and on Windows Help Files. XASCII also points out the characters that
create error messages in most compilations. What can be easier to use to look
for help with than a Help file?

Copy XASCII.HLP into any convenient directory or folder. Add the icon to
any Window or program group as you would any Windows icon.

Spelling and Grammar Checkers are great BUT---They have their limits.

We have spelling checker,
It came with our PC.
It plainly marks four are revue
Mistakes wee cannot sea.
Whee of run this poem threw it,
Weir sure your please too no;
Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
Hour checker tolled us sew.

What do you do if the Grammar Checker asks you a question you cannot answer?
(What is the Passive Voice anyhow? How do I know if a comma really goes 
there?) What do you do about all those words, like many in the poem above,
that sound alike or are confused with other words? What are the different
rules for adding the letter -s to words?
