Character_Set

 VSI  Pascal  uses  the  extended  American  Standard  Code   for
 Information  Interchange (ASCII) character set.  The is extended
 ASCII character set contains 256 characters, which  include  the
 following:

  o  Uppercase letters  A  through  Z  and  lowercase  letters  a
     through z

  o  Integers 0 through 9

  o  Special characters, such as the ampersand (&), question mark
     (?), and equal sign (=)

  o  Nonprinting characters, such as the space, tab,  line  feed,
     carriage  return, and form feed (use of these characters may
     improve the legibility of your programs)

  o  Extended, unspecified characters with numeric codes from 128
     to 255


 The VSI Pascal compiler does not distinguish  between  uppercase
 and   lowercase   letters   except   when   they  appear  inside
 apostrophes.

 Pascal Language Reference Manual."
