Well, I'm sure that depends on how it's setup.  Ad for the naming, I hadn'r
heard those ones, but things like "IBM PC and "IBM PC 8 bit", or maybe even
"high bit", from memory.  Those terms were around long before anyone really got
using CP437. :)

This was all going around when _we_ were kids (well, I was a young adult, mid
