Since the Cygwin version of ascii doesn't appear to have a man page, I'm not sure what it "should" do. What it appears to do is simply printout out all possible 8-bit characters so you can see what they are. Which will fail in any multibyte locale. You can write your own imitation ascii as a Perl one-liner: perl -e 'for ($i=0;$i<256;$i+=4) { for ($i..$i+3) { printf "%03d 0x%02x %c\t", ($_)x3 } print "\n"; }' which can be adjusted for different locale settings: perl -Mencoding=utf8 -e '...' adding the control-sequence support (^x) is left as an exercise for the reader. :) -- Mark J.
