===== OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS PRINTABLE CHARACTERS (COMPRESSED) =====

==== PURPOSE ====
 This small example will show the (printable) ASCII CHARACTERS TABLE on the screen. The loaded buffer will be compressed with MSC1 algorithm, to save space.  

==== SOURCE CODE ====
   
       CLS
       
       PRINT "print ascii:"
       PRINT "0123456789\|!£$%&/()=?^ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYWZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxywz"
   
       PRINT
   
       PRINT "print raw:"
       PRINT #"0123456789\|!£$%&/()=?^ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYWZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxywz"
   
       a := LOAD("printable.txt") COMPRESSED
   
       PRINT
   
       PRINT "print buffer:"
       PRINT BUFFER a
   
       PRINT
   
       PRINT "print raw:"
       PRINT BUFFER RAW a
