RFC 864 May 1983 Character Generator Protocol Data Syntax The data may be anything. It is recommended that a recognizable pattern be used in tha data. One popular pattern is 72 chraracter lines of the ASCII printing characters. There are 95 printing characters in the ASCII character set. Sort the characters into an ordered sequence and number the characters from 0 through 94. Think of the sequence as a ring so that character number 0 follows character number 94. On the first line (line 0) put the characters numbered 0 through 71. On the next line (line 1) put the characters numbered 1 through 72. And so on. On line N, put characters (0+N mod 95) through (71+N mod 95). End each line with carriage return and line feed. Postel
