Sentences with OCTAL (5)

The bits produced by the CONTROL and META shift keys on a SAIL keyboard (octal 200 and 400 respectively), resulting in a 9-bit keyboard character set.
The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10, 01 Jul 1992 Various 1992
Example: the retention of octal as default base for string escapes in {C}, in spite of the better match of hexadecimal to ASCII and modern byte-addressable architectures.
The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10, 01 Jul 1992 Various 1992
Historical note: although in modern usage shaped by a universe of 8-bit bytes the meta bit is invariably hex 80 (octal 0200), things were different on earlier machines with 36-bit words and 9-bit bytes.
The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10, 01 Jul 1992 Various 1992
The MIT and Stanford keyboards (see {space-cadet keyboard}) generated hex 100 (octal 400) from their meta keys.
The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10, 01 Jul 1992 Various 1992
Hackish way of saying "I'm drawing a blank." Octal 40 is the {{ASCII}} space character, 0100000; by an odd coincidence, {hex} 40 (01000000) is the {{EBCDIC}} space character.
The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10, 01 Jul 1992 Various 1992
