  • ASCII Chart and Other Resources
    ALL NEW - Connector Reference and Games. Search ASCII Chart ASCII - The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a standard seven-bit code that was proposed by ANSI in 1963, and finalized in 1968. Other sources also credit much of the work on ASCII to work done in 1965 by Robert W. Bemer (www.bobbemer.com). ASCII was established to achieve compatibility between various types of data processing equipment. Later-day standards that document ASCII include ISO-14962-1997 and ANSI-X3.4-1986(R1997). ASCII, pronounced "ask-key", is the common code for microcomputer equipment. The standard ASCII character set consists of 128 decimal numbers ranging from zero through 127 assigned to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and the most common special characters. The Extended ASCII Character Set also consists of 128 decimal numbers and ranges from 128 through 255 representing additional special, mathematical, graphic, and foreign characters. Every now and again, I've wished that I had an ASCII chart handy, so I made one and stuck it on this page so that I could find it in a hurry. One thing led to another, and folks started asking me questions about ASCII and other character representations, so I've tried to update this page a bit to answer some of the most common questions. Also, I've added additional info,such as IBM PC Keyboard Scan Codes, and a list of other references.

Esta mudança, aliada à difusão das redes de área local potenciou o surgimento de novas formas e processos de trabalho colaborativo que trouxeram um novo fôlego às organizações. Como consequência desta evolução, deu-se um aumento do número de postos de trabalho informatizados (“desktops”), decorrente da progressiva democratização do PC (Personal Computer) e dos sistemas de informação, implicando uma necessidade cada vez mais premente de mecanismos de gestão eficazes do parque de PCs em uso. Esta demanda é frequentemente relegada para um plano inferior no estudo da temática da gestão de redes e sistemas distribuídos, nem sempre sendo alvo do merecido reconhecimento.

  • Using the Ibm Pc As a Host Graphics Device Steve Morton - Sas Institute
    USING THE IBM PC AS A HOST GRAPHICS DEVICE STEVE MORTON - SAS INSTITUTE AUTHOR: SARAH DARDEN, SAS INSTITUTE INC. INTRODUCTION With the exploding market of new hardware and software products, the personal computer is quickly becoming a versatile work station for the SAS/GRAPHs software user. Its use as a host graphics terminal has become a popular choice'for the PC user who needs access to large mainframe data bases and production jobs. Because there are so many choices in hardware and software, configuring the PC as a host graphics device can be a complicated issue. Several factors, such as host communications software, communications boards, display adapters, and emulation software must be considered. This paper will analyze these factors and provide information on the different ways to use the PC as a host graphics terminal. THE PROCESS There are three very basic steps in generating host graphics. Software, running on the host, must generate graphics commands in the language that the target device can understand. The commands must then be sent to the device, and the device must be able to interpret tL~se commands and create a graph. For this process to work, the IBM PC must be attached to the host computer. Many standard personal computers do not come with the equipment needed to provide a host connection. The transformation of the PC into a terminal requires the following items: • - hardware in the PC that establishes the physical connection between the host and the PC software in the PC that can handle communications to and from the "j host - a graphics display adapter in the PC - hardware or software that can take ,graphics commands from the host and convert them into a format that the graphics adapter can use to generate a display on the monitor There are many different combinations of hardware and software that can be used to fulfill the above requirements.
