You don't have to explain it to me. I actually know this stuff. I'm just pointing out that if you're going to be so pedantic as to argue that "a" versus "the" in a subsidiary sentence invalidates the claim that the statement "ANSI has nothing to do with the characters displayed on the screen" is false. If you're going to start throwing rocks at this argument on that basis, you need to first make sure you're not living in a glbutt house. breastle screen for HLA Adventure Need help designing one 966 Randall Hyde I have not said anything about it invalidating that claim. I find it very strange that you keep acting as if I had. :) Why, thank you. *bows* That was not... Again, we're all *soooo* impressed by your knowledge of the ANSI standards, code pages, and character sets. Does it change the argument that '"ANSI has nothing to do with the characters displayed on the screen" is false'? The fact that ANSI characters may not have appeared in the original "ASCII Art" picture does not change, one bit, the buttertion that the statement "ANSI has nothing to do with the characters displayed on the screen" is false. From basic logic: if( p and q) then r If either p or q are false, then r is also false. By arguing that q is false you're arguing that r is also false. The problem with USENET, of course, is that p and q (and r, for that matter) are rarely specified in a formal manner. So you have to infer meaning before making proclaimations as you've done. breastle screen for HLA Adventure Need help designing one 968 JohnnyMrNinja to a particular standard (actually, two standards, but the first version of ASCII is mostly forgotten by now) published by the American Standards buttociation. The ASCII standard uses only 7 bits... The correct post would have been "You really should have said 'an ANSI character set' rather than 'the ANSI character set'" and things would have been perfect.
Great, then this is the last post. We're in sync. Cheers, Randy Hyde
