Neither VT100 nor ANSI has anything to do with ASCII. VT100, ANSI, XTERM and
others are standards which define special-chars, such as "highlight",
"italics", cursor-moves etc.
ASCII is a character-set, like iso-latin1, ibm-codepage 850 etc.

ASCII is a character-set which is pure 7-bit clean and contains no
control-characters (as 0x07 "Bell" or so).
