The ASCII Character Set
+ASCII stands for the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange".
+It was designed in the early 60's, as a standard character set for computers +and electronic devices.
+ASCII is a 7-bit character set containing 128 characters.
+It contains the numbers from 0-9, the upper and lower case English letters +from A to Z, and some special characters.
+The character sets used in modern computers, in HTML, and on the Internet, +are all based on ASCII.
+The following tables list the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent +number.
