In a book of this sort it is traditional to have an appendix with an ASCII table. This book does not. Instead, here is a short C program that generates a complete ASCII table and writes it to the file ASCII.txt.
Example R-1. A C program that generates an ASCII table

29 fprintf( fp, "\n" );

32 fprintf( fp, "\n" );

34 return (0);
35 } /* Outfile needs a bit of hand-editing for tidying up. */

37 /* Try rewriting this as a shell script. */

To build (compile) the program: gcc -O2 ascii.c -o ascii-table
