KARASC

      INTEGER FUNCTION KARASC (CHAR)

          Return the ordinal position of the single Hollerith
 character  CHAR  in  the ASCII  character  set.   For  ASCII
 machines, this  function  is identical  to KARORD,  but  for
 non-ASCII machines will be  different.  If CHAR has no ASCII
 graphic equivalent, then the value -1 must be returned.
