Free ascii code software for mac

ASCII (Pronounced ASKEEEE) stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. ASCII is a code for representing characters as numbers so that they can be stored in a computers memory.
For example, uppercase "A" would be stored as 65. Before ASCII, most computers had their own codes for storing letters. This made it difficult to exhange data between computers.
For example, computer number one represents the letter A as 42 and computer number two represents the letter Q as 42, then when a text file was transferred from computer number one to computer number two, all of the As would be replaced with Qs.
ASCII was proposed and accepted as a standard code for representing characters, which allowed computers to transfer text with each other. This made email possible.
Developers often need to find out the ASCII value of a character, or vice versa, and we were tired of searching for one of the many ASCII character tables that are in books or on print outs. We decided that it would be quicker and easier to have a small utility to turn to for this information.
ASCII Tools contains four windows. The main window contains an ASCII character table with values in decimal and hexadecimal, as well as quick conversion utilities for ASCII value to character, and ASCII character to value.
The developers found that if they were working on something that required us to turn to this utility many times, it would be easier if they had the utilities in global windows so that they would not have to keep switching between applications.
By selecting "Show Global Windows" from the "Windows" menu, you can have access to all of the features of ASCII tools from within your current application. No more switching back and forth.
Main features:
- Simple, easy to use interface.
- ASCII number to character converter.
- Character to ASCII number converter.
- ASCII character, hexadecimal value, and decimal value table.
- Global floating windows for easy access while in other applications.

The ASCII to Entity AppleScript will take any ASCII text and convert it to HTML entities. You should not use this utility to encode HTML runs as a matter of course, as you will end up with very verbose HTML.

Use it to discern specific ASCII characters that require encoding (ie accented characters) or to encode email addresses to confuse spambots.

Completly freeware for non-commercial use.

ASCII Table is a utility for programmers, it is carbonised and runs under MacOS 8.6/9 and Mac OS X. I decided to write it because the System 6 style Desk Accessory, that I have been using for years, started crashing under Mac OS 9 and I couldnt find anything that ran natively under Mac OS X.
You can type characters on the keyboard and it will highlight that character on the table and display its ASCII code in decimal, hexadecimal and octal. You can also click on characters on the table which will exactly the same thing only you dont have to know the keyboard combination to type it.
Characters clicked and typed are also inserted into an editable field at the bottom. This can then be copied and pasted into other Applications. You may select a different font to be displayed from the font menu in the menu bar and all the characters in that font will be displayed in the table. The table is also re-sizable so that you can view the characters at larger sizes.
Enhancements:
- Bug fix for selected character being lost when redrawn.

Area Code widget allows you to easily find out what areas are covered by different area codes.
By entering the area code in question into the search box, the cities, state or county covered by the area code will be displayed.
Useful for figuring out where items seen in online classifieds are located when the lister forgets to put their location.
Enhancements:
- fixes an area code that was listed wrong.

ASCII Explorer 1.0 is a smart and nice tool which displays any file in decimal ASCII codes -- a cool and easy thing if you want to roam through MP3 files or have a closer look at ID3 tags.

Requirements: Mac OS 7.5 or later

Pick from the Windows menu to select which type of bar code to generate (only UPC A supported in this version). Then, type the code, generate the check digit (if needed), select the bar width reduction and magnification.

Now, you may Save the barcode as a .brcdfl file for future use, or View the bar code in Illustrator CS.

Requirements:
System 7.0 or later.
