An ap... fgrieu (251)

terminal designed for C 48 33 (10/23/2012 4:19:19 AM) comp.lang.c Hello folks. According to the 1990 C standard (which is what I wish to code to), there i= s no "escape" character. So the only way to produce an escape character is = to harcode its ASCII or EBCDIC value (... kerravon (64)
