	PETSCII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PETSCII (PET Standard Code of Information Interchange), also known as CBM ASCII, is the variation of the ASCII character set used in Commodore Business Machines (CBM)'s 8-bit home computers, starting with the PET from 1977 and including the VIC-20, C64, Plus/4, C16 and C128.
		PETSCII Chart as displayed on the C64 in shifted and unshifted modes.
		PETSCII is based on the 1963 version of ASCII (rather than the 1967 version, of which all modern character sets are supersets).

		Shifted and unshifted modes of PETSCII on the C64.
		In mathematics, hexadecimal or simply hex is a numeral system with a radix or base of 16 usually written using the symbols 0–9 and A–F or a–f.
		An escape sequence is a series of characters used to trigger some sort of command state in computers and their attached peripherals.

		punctuation and upper-case letters, PETSCII consists of a range of block graphic characters, such as boxes, circles, quarter circles, straight and angled lines of varying thickness, crosses, checkered 'flags', playing card colors, etc, allowing quite sophisticated graphic patterns to be built without resorting to user-defined characters or bitmapped graphics (both of which the PET lacked).
		Obviously, as for all computers based on non-standard-ASCII character sets, software conversion was needed when exchanging text files with, and telecommunicating with, standard ASCII systems.

		As you might know, Atari also 'invented' a set of block graphics chars for their own 8-bit home computer family (different chars from CBM's, of course...).
		So there---done it (added to the article the (most?) plausible reason for PETSCII to be invented, that is). :-) --Wernher 01:00, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
		It's not apparent to me why they didn't just use the 8th bit set characters to extend the character set, as did the IBM PC and even the Osborne 1, where printable characters with the 8th bit set came out underlined (which looked way cool in WordStar) and non-printable characters were block graphics.

		The main difference between the two was that the upper and lower case characters were swapped.
		I.e., an "A" in ASCII was an "a" in PETSCII.
		When a user typed 'a' at the keyboard, the letter 'a' was read in as a PETSCII value.

		I've put up and experimental "telnet" BBS that uses the Commodore PetSCII character set exclusively.
		The BBS does not run on a real C64, because it would be difficult to make that multi-user unless I did it with Lunix and a SLIP connection, which I haven't experimented with yet.
		The only thing to note is that you'll want to use at least the 'medium' setting to view the movies, or else they go by so fast you miss the animation.

		The obvious solution is for all Commodore users to translate incoming information into PETSCII from ASCII when talking to another type of computer.
		If a text file you retrieve looks like the uppercase letters should be lowercase and vice versa, then the file is in ASCII and needs to be converted to PETSCII.
		However, the file may be in either ASCII or PETSCII format, so a conversion step may be necessary.

		The PETSCII value of an empty (null) string is zero.
		It's often used in PRINT strings to output data that is not visible, such as control codes and escape sequences.
		There should be only one string-type variable name in the variable_list in this case, but if there are more the computer prompts as usual with two question marks for more data to assign to the additional variables.
