Hi Dave,
strangely enough, I read that the 8th bit allowed parity as, the then, top
notch paper tapes could cope with an extra (8th) bit and it was put to good use
for a parity bit. I haven't read the various standards though, so willing to be
corrected. (Again!)

Hi Marcel,
yes, I agree ASCII is indeed 7 bit. I have to confess that since the

Oh hum. The URL got butchered. Try this one:
https://github.com/NormanDunbar/QLAssemblyLanguageMagazine/releases/tag/Issue_7
and hopefully, that will work better.
Sorry.
Cherrs,

Hello to all (both?) my faithful readers. The latest edition of the somewhat
irregular eComic about QL Assembly Language Programming is out now. Get it from:
https://github.com/NormanDunbar/QLAssem ... ag/Issue_7
You only need the PDF (to read) and the Code.zip file, to save you typing.
Enjoy.
