<REFERENCE>PRIME>DRB>PRIMEASCII

This table was generated, via some long-lost program, on a Prime machine by Dennis Boone and Roger Young, circa 1985.

Prime used the 7-bit ASCII character set, but due to heritage from the Honeywell S/16 family and Teletype machines, did so in mark parity form (i.e. with the high-order bit set). This table shows both mark and space parity versions of the set.

Prime later added an Extended Character Set.

Text files on a Prime may contain three kinds of compression. A control-P says that the next byte indicates how many bytes to copy from the previous line in place of this sequence. A control-Q says that the next byte indicates how many spaces to insert in place of this sequence. A control-S says that the next byte indicates how many line feeds to insert in place of this sequence. I've only seen the control-Q sequence in live files.
