Well, Bill and Alan,

Yes, Baudot if you have to be compatible :-) but as Baudot code was
organized to have less stress on the TTY writer that is no any sense for the
human (like ASCII uses a human based ABC ordered encoding). But still I
think with 2 * 32 table it can be done without too much effort. If you would
like to avoid those tables (to save space) you have to use  ABC orders with
the same principals so that few simple instruction could convert it to
ASCII.
