  • Refactor box-drawing character variables into the new char_defs.js so

    From Rob Swindell to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Thu Jan 1 14:30:22 2026

    All of these char codes (and all codes > 127) are not ASCII. These are IBM Code Page 437. So the file should probably be called cp4367_defs.js.

    And the "ASCII" in the comments is misleading.

    For the equivalent file in the Synchronet source code, see src/xpdev/cp437defs.h (for comparison or inspiration).

    That's right; I'll remove the "ASCII".

    One of the functions available in the JS object model is ascii(), which converts a character to numeric ASCII or vice-versa; I think that works with CP437 characters too? Although these are cp437 characters, I think the function name "ascii" & such can make it confusing at times. There's also a web site I've referenced at times, asciitable.com, which lists all of these character codes.

    Sorry to confuse you. But even https://www.asciitable.com/ has all codes > 127 listed as "Extended ASCII", which is in fact CP437.
