  36  * int dataasciigen(listofchars, buffer, size, offset)
  37  *
  38  * This function fills buffer with ascii characters.
  39  * The ascii characters are obtained from listofchars or the CHARS array
  40  *  if listofchars is NULL.
  41  * Each char is selected by an index.  The index is the remainder
  42  *  of count divided by the array size.
  43  * This method allows more than one process to write to a location
  44  *  in a file without corrupting it for another process' point of view.
  45  *
  46  * The return value will be the number of character written in buffer
  47  *  (size).
