message: Where can i downloud ansi,
Is  the ansi cryptical secret?
ANSI is not a secret, it is a way of encoding the symbols we use in our every day language into numbers.  These numbers are useful since digital equipment only store numbers and they are stored in sets of 1's and 0's, which typically there are 8 of these bits (1's and 0's) in a byte (a character), the ANSI table provides a means to translate these numbers into symbols and vice versa.  
I hope this helps!  If you want to learn more about these tables, since there is more than one table for doing this; I would suggest looking at ASCII. -  Paul Schou
ANSI has another 128 characters, ASCII only does 128 202.160.118.227 (talk) 10:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone answer these two questions about the ANSI 0rganization:
* How many total permanent staff do they have in Washington, New York and other countries?  (This seems to be a well-hidden secret and it is not even discussed in their annual reports).
*When did they stop naming standards "ANSI xxxx" and start naming them American National Standards (ANS) ?

Could make this more upto date by using memory cards for cameras (e.g. SD, SDHC etc.) as the example instead of film...
