|    control characters    |
|    14 Jun 21 21:15:47    |
      From: muta...@gmail.com              I need to repurpose 6 ASCII control characters to be used       for Vietnamese display characters. I don't like the 6 that       VISCII chose. I don't want to give up anything that is used       in the software I use, including micro-emacs keystrokes.       Here is the list:              0 - ctrl-@ - used by C etc.       1 - ctrl-A - used by micro-emacs       2 - ctrl-B - AVAILABLE       3 - ctrl-C - used to break programs       4 - ctrl-D - used to indicate EOF in Unix       5 - ctrl-E - used by micro-emacs       6 - ctrl-F - ACK - may be AVAILABLE       7 - ctrl-G - used by micro-emacs and to beep       8 - ctrl-H - used as backspace       9 - ctrl-I - tab       A - ctrl-J - newline       B - ctrl-K - used by micro-emacs       C - ctrl-L - used by micro-emacs       D - ctrl-M - carriage return       E - ctrl-N - AVAILABLE       F - ctrl-O - AVAILABLE       10 - ctrl-P - AVAILABLE       11 - ctrl-Q - used for XON       12 - ctrl-R - formfeed, AVAILABLE       13 - ctrl-S - XOFF and used by micro-emacs       14 - ctrl-T - AVAILABLE       15 - ctrl-U - NAK - may be AVAILABLE       16 - ctrl-V - used by micro-emacs, but if page-down works can be made available       17 - ctrl-W - used by nano - may be AVAILABLE       18 - ctrl-X - used by micro-emacs       19 - ctrl-Y - used by micro-emacs       1A - ctrl-Z - used for EOF by MSDOS       1B - ctrl-[ - ESC       1C - ctrl-\ - used by Unix to kill process       1D - ctrl-] - used by Telnet to get prompt       1E - ctrl-^ - AVAILABLE       1F - ctrl-_ - AVAILABLE              I think we're in business. 7 available control characters       when we only need 6. I'd say we leave ctrl-B alone as I       think some people use that.              BFN.
