This site offers is a glimpse into the history of writers and artists bound by the 128 characters that the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them. The focus is on mid-1980's textfiles and the world as it was then, but even these files are sometime retooled 1960s and 1970s works, and offshoots of this culture exist to this day. he files on TEXTFILES.COM are maintained by somewhat arbitrary guidelines, so if a file you're looking for is not in one section, try a few others. Files are often in the "8+3" format, but since they're coming from all sorts of sources, this isn't guaranteed. Our focus is on the years 1980-1995, but files from before and after sometime sneak in. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
