ASCII, pronounced "ask-ee," stands for the American Standard Code
for Information Interchange (brought to you by the American National
Standards Institute or ANSI). This code assigns each English character
and basic punctuation mark its own number from 0 to 127. Since the
code is standard, every computer should be able to translate it
into serviceable, if unglamorous, copy. So, when you're unsure what
program - or what computer - is on the receiving end of a document,
your safest bet is to save your file as plain ASCII text. |
