- (1) There's a complete write-up about it, plus programs to do the job,
- on Goodies Disks #1 and #2; see "ASC" by Jim Cloos.
-
- (2) It's a moot point if you have Rick Grevelle's HACKIT library. It
- works with ASC-style strings with *or* without a checksum at the end,
- and even allows spaces, carriage returns, and comments to be anywhere
- in the ASC string. Finally, as if this weren't enough, it includes a
- SCRC function that returns the CRC which ASC-> would require at the
- end of any string of hex digits. HACKIT is available on Goodies Disks
- #3 and #5.
