Figure 5-l shows what this program will print. If your chart doesn’t 1001like this because it has regular letters and numbers instead of the special symbols, then your computer is only using seven bits. You can get the correct printout by changing line

160 to this:

160LPRINT I;CHR$(27);">";CHR$(I);CHR$(27);"="; CHR$(9);

A notefor the IBM-PC users.

When you run this program, you cannot get the right-pointed arrow (CHR$(26)) with the IBM-PC computers. This is because the IBM-PC does not send this code to the printer.

There is a solution to avoid this problem. Change lines 100 and 120 to the either set of the following lists.

100 O=INP(&H379) : IF 0~128 THEN 100

110 OUT &H378,26 : OUT &H37A,5 : OUT &H37A,4

120 LPRINT : LPRINT

100 O=INP(&H3BD) : IF 0~128 THEN 100

110 OUT &H3BC,26 : OUT &H3BE,5 : OUT &H3BE,5

120 LPRINT : LPRINT

SOshow are all of these strange characters used? Here is a short program that demonstrate how the graphics characters can be combined to create a figure: the 5 of clubs.
