Once. in a previous millennium I had the same attitude regarding Baudot code.
Which is even more Spartanic than upper case ASCII.

Baudot code has only one case. Most machines using Baudot code display lower
case.

Morse code also has just one case. But unlike Baudot code, it is extendible and
while in its orginal form it just had 26 letters, the digits 0-9 and a handfull
special chaacters, later codes for accented and umlauted characters were added.
The latest addition is .--.-. (@)


Cheers, Michiel
