    When 7-bit ascii code is used on 8-bit machines, I guess that the msb
(most significant bit) is set to zero.  For example, "A" is 100 0001 in 7-bit
ascii code and it will be represented as 0100 0001 on 8-bit machines.

    In some book, I found that there is a 8-bit ASCII-8 code,
which is different from the 7-bit code w/ a leading zero prefixed.
The book says that, for example, "A" is 1010 0001 and "1" is 0101 0001
in 8-ASCII code.

    My questions are:

    1) what is ASCII-8 code?  a good reference or table?
    2) is ASCII-8 different from the 7-bit ascii code w/ a leading zero
       prefixed.
    3) where is this code used?

Thanks in advance.  Please send e-mail.
