Well, I originally said the use case was "how to get a list of extended ASCII characters into a file on FreeDOS" .. so really, I mean *extended* ASCII here. And yes, any code less than 0 or greater than 255 is not valid extended ASCII, so that's why I print those invalid code requests as '?' to indicate an error. :-)
I suppose I should have printed an error on stderr, but this was just a quick program to help this user with this use case. I shared it in case others were interested. (But it's a trivial program anyway.)
