[GreenKeys] Original meaning of ASCII codes

[cswiger]

Tks - we've been studying a 1976 BASIC source and was wondering
about a ^T in the 'READY' string - NOW it makes sense. You turn
on the paper tape punch, list the program to tape, and BASIC
automatically switches off the punch before printing READY. I'll
have to run that by the author and see if he recalls that now.

Bonus: Pangrams (sentences with every character of the alphabet)
'pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs' has 32 letters
'the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog' has 33 letters
of course we don't want test messages that look like wholesale
orders for booze.
