PUTASC - dump bytes in ASCII.

Alternate Entry Name: .PTASC

Usage:

B:
   pointer = putasc( pointer [, num_bytes, offset ] );
C:
   char *putasc(char *pointer [, int num_bytes,
                int offset] );

Where:

pointer
points to a string of ASCII characters in memory.
num_bytes
specifies the number of bytes to be dumped. If "num_bytes" is zero or unspecified, PUTASC will print the string up to the next '*e'.
offset
is a character offset into the string indicated by "pointer". The initial character of the string has an offset of zero, the next character has an offset of one, and so on. The default "offset" is zero, and printing begins at the start of the string.

Description:

PUTASC prints the specified number of bytes on the current write unit. For most applications, you should use PRINTF instead of PUTASC.
