How long, exactly?* Anybody know?

The reason I ask is that I often have to deal with legacy files (and
software), so it would be useful to know the cut-off point(s).


ASCII may no longer be the "preferred" character set, but it's still
used here and there. IOW, there is no "cutoff date". Best to assume that
ASCII lurks in the nooks and crannies of some software until proven
otherwise.


it's obsolete.
