do I understand you correctly, that you are telling us that mentioning
the term 'extended ASCII' is just plain wrong, and it doesn't exist at all?
If that is the case then could you please ask for the deletion of this
Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII

I have read it, and I understood it that way, that the 7-bit ASCII forms
the base of all those various extensions. Maybe all the information in
this Wikipedia entry is wrong, as there is no such thing as
'ASCII-extensions'. It should be called 'based-on-ASCII-extensions'?
Enlight me, and it would be a great thing if you really could ask for
the corrections or deletion (if necessary) in the mentioned Wikipedia
entry as many people do rely on such information (including me).

Cheers
Bernhard
