Re: Word name storage quirk in VAX fig-Forth

It occurred to me that another factor in this is that the VAX-11 OS used
7-bit ASCII as its character set, so perhaps terminals and printers of
that time would just print the character indicated by the lower 7 bits
of each byte they were sent, ignoring the high bit. So I am seeing
munged characters because I'm using equipment that looks at all 8 bits
for character codes?
