Reference Post #7.
The DEC Rainbow had both Z80 (8-bit) and a 8088 (16-bit) processors. It also had a weird floppy-disc drive (doule sided) to read both CP/M and MSDOS formats.
It only really worked properly with CP/M-86. MSDOS at the time was a joke.

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireASCII - Disallow high-bit characters. AFFILIATION
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic. DESCRIPTION
ASCII is a text encoding first introduced in 1963. It represents 128 characters in seven-bit bytes, reserving the eighth bit for error detection. Perl supports a large number of encodings. However, if you really want the ultimate in backward compatibility, ASCII is it! (We won't even talk about EBCDIC and the like...) This policy is not recommended for everyone. Instead, most of you should probably strive for one of the Unicode encodings for maximum forward compatibility. SEE ALSO
