VSI Pascal uses the extended American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) character set. The is extended
ASCII character set contains 256 characters, which include the
following:
o Uppercase letters A through Z and lowercase letters a
through z
o Integers 0 through 9
o Special characters, such as the ampersand (&), question mark
(?), and equal sign (=)
o Nonprinting characters, such as the space, tab, line feed,
carriage return, and form feed (use of these characters may
improve the legibility of your programs)
o Extended, unspecified characters with numeric codes from 128
to 255
The VSI Pascal compiler does not distinguish between uppercase
and lowercase letters except when they appear inside
apostrophes.

Pascal Language Reference Manual."
