American National Standards InstituteThe American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private, non-profit organization standards organization that produces industrial standardization in the United States. It is a member of International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission. ANSI's standards fall in many areas. In computing, ANSI standardized the ASCII character set in X3.4, control codes in X3.41 and control sequences (to be used e.g. for moving the cursor around the screen of a computer terminal) in X3.64. The ASA photographic exposure system became the basis for the ISO film speed system, currently used worldwide. ANSI was founded on October 19, 1918 as the American Engineering Standards Committee and reorganised as the American Standards Association in 1928. In 1966 it was reorganised as the United States of America Standards Institute. In 1969 it changed its name to American National Standards Institute. In Microsoft Windows, the phrase "ANSI" refers to the Windows ANSI code pages. Most of these are fixed width though there are some variable width ones for ideographic languages. Some of these are very close to the ISO-8859 series leading many to falsely assume that they are identical. ASCII art which is colorized or animated by way of ANSI terminal control codes (X3.64 sequences) are commonly referred to as "ANSI art" and were predominantly popular on bulletin board systems throughout the 1980s and 1990s. == See also== * ANSI art, art created from a subset of X3.64 * ANSI.SYS, a device driver for MS-DOS * ANSI escape code * Unified Thread Standard * American National Standards Institute Nanotechnology Panel ==External links== * [http://www.ansi.org/ American National Standards Institute] official website * About ANSI Overview, from ANSI web site, as of March 2, 2003; [http://www.ansi.org/about_ansi/overview/overview.aspx?menuid=1] * ANSI - an Historical Overview, from ANSI web site, as of March 2, 2003; [http://www.ansi.org/about_ansi/introduction/history.aspx?menuid=1] Standards organizations zh-min-nan:ANSI th:ANSI American National Standards InstituteWhere can i downloud ansi, Is the ansi cryptical secret? == Suggest 4 possible wiki links for American National Standards Institute. == An User:Nickj/Link_Suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the American_National_Standards_Institute article: * Can link non-profit: ''User talk:LinkBot'': User:Nickj/Link Suggester/Positive Feedback, User:Nickj/Link Suggester/Negative Feedback, User:Nickj/Link Suggester/Don't link to — User:LinkBot 11:30, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) American national standards institute#REDIRECT American National Standards Institute See other meanings of words starting from letter: AAB | AC | AD | AE | AF | AG | AH | AI | AJ | AK | AL | AM | AN | AO | AP | AR | AS | AT | AU | AW | AX | AY | AZ |Words begining with American_National_Standards_Institute: American_National_Standards_Institute American_National_Standards_Institute American_national_standards_institute
