If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing
them, you will get a printout like Figure 2-3.

Most BASICS, however, are not quite that straightforward. For example,
the IBM-PC prints the following.

Figure 2-4. Sample hexadecimal dump with IBM-PC
When the IBM-PC BASIC interpreter sends hex code OD (carriage re-
-- turn) it adds an extra hex OA (line feed). Hex code IA (end-of-file) also gets -
special treatment: the interpreter does not send it at all. This can cause
problems in programs that generate graphics or download character data,
-
but there is a solution. Try changing line 20 in the preceding program and
adding the coding shown below.
Coding for IBM-PC with monochrome display:
20 GOSUB 100
100 O=INP(&H3BD)
:IF 0<128 THEN 100
110 OUT &H3BC,I :OUT &H3BE,5 :OUT &H3BE,4
120 RETURN
