The other one I used to here about ASCII, was when a
program crashed
with a corrupted text screen it would be described as "my screen was
full of ASCII characters" Well duuuhhh what do you think the normal ones
are(1). Actually more often than not it was full of extended ASCII....
I think I'd be more likely to say 'Myt screen was full of non-ASCII
characters', meaning (in this case) ones from the IBM PC exteneded
character set with bit 7 set.
ASCII is a 7 bit code, after all..
