along with the International Organization for Standards (ISO),

standardized the C programming language (see [559]K&R, [560]Classic

C), and promulgates many other important software standards. 2. n.

[techspeak] A terminal may be said to be `ANSI' if it meets the ANSI

X.364 standard for terminal control. Unfortunately, this standard was

both over-complicated and too permissive. It has been retired and

replaced by the ECMA-48 standard, which shares both flaws. 3. n. [BBS

jargon] The set of screen-painting codes that most MS-DOS and Amiga

computers accept. This comes from the ANSI.SYS device driver that must

be loaded on an MS-DOS computer to view such codes. Unfortunately,

neither DOS ANSI nor the BBS ANSIs derived from it exactly match the

ANSI X.364 terminal standard. For example, the ESC-[1m code turns on

the bold highlight on large machines, but in IBM PC/MS-DOS ANSI, it

turns on `intense' (bright) colors. Also, in BBS-land, the term `ANSI'

is often used to imply that a particular computer uses or can emulate

the IBM high-half character set from MS-DOS. Particular use depends on

context. Occasionally, the vanilla ASCII character set is used with

the color codes, but on BBSs, ANSI and `IBM characters' tend to go

together.
