- Description of program
- ----------------------
- ACHART is a Windows 3.0 program which displays a character
- chart in the form of a 16x16 table. The following variations may
- be displayed:
-
- IBM PC character set. Smiley faces and all.
-
- ANSI character set using names (NUL, SOH, STX, etc.) for
- the control characters.
-
- ANSI character set using (^A, ^B, ^C, etc) for the control
- characters.
-
- EBCDIC character set. Everytime I see this I can't help
- but wonder what drugs they were using that would make
- breaking up the alphabetic characters seem like a good
- idea. A really remarkable encoding that everyone should
- be familiar with.
-
- Default Palette selection in Charset menu. OK, this isn't a
- Charset. Too bad. The default palette is what you get if you
- specify colors in a Windows program using PALETTEINDEX(num)
- without first having created a logical palette.
