Summary

  • The ASCII art banners for CHKDSK (bundles 3, 7) and COMMAND (bundle 4) in 1_transcription/ incorrectly used Cyrillic 'С' (U+0421) instead of ASCII 'C'
  • This affected 192 characters across 3 files: bundle_3 (96 chars), bundle_4 (48 chars), bundle_7 (48 chars)
  • All Cyrillic characters have been replaced with their identical-looking ASCII equivalents

Details

The transcription files contain ASCII art page headers spelling out program names like "CHKDSK" and "COMMAND". During transcription, the letter 'C' was entered as the Cyrillic homoglyph 'С' (which looks identical but is a different Unicode codepoint). This caused the files to be detected as UTF-8 text instead of pure ASCII.

Files changed:

  • 1_transcription/bundle_3 — lines 297, 298, 315, 316, 350, 351, 368, 369 (CHKDSK banner)
  • 1_transcription/bundle_4 — lines 3713, 3714, 3731, 3732 (COMMAND banner)
  • 1_transcription/bundle_7 — lines 2, 3, 20, 21 (CHKDSK banner)

Test plan

  • Verified no non-ASCII characters remain in the affected files (grep -P '[^\x00-\x7F]' returns empty)
  • Verified files are now detected as pure ASCII text by file command
  • Only the Cyrillic 'С' characters were changed; no other content was modified

The ASCII art banners for CHKDSK and COMMAND in transcription files
bundle_3, bundle_4, and bundle_7 used Cyrillic 'С' (U+0421) instead
of ASCII 'C'. This replaces 192 Cyrillic characters with their ASCII
equivalents to ensure the transcriptions are pure ASCII text.
