'''ANSI''' (typically pronounced as an acronym "ann-see") is the '''American National Standards Institute''', a large engineering standards organisation with headquarters in Washington D.C and web site [http://ansi.org ansi.org]. It was founded in 1918.

It is responsible for a number of important standards in computing, including:

* ANSI Standard [[C]], usually called ANSI C, published as X3.159-1989.
* ANSI Standard [[Fortran]], usually called Fortran 66, published as ASA X3.9-1966.
* ANSI Standard [[Cobol]] standards in 1968, 1974, and 1985.
* Expansion of 7-bit [[ASCII]] character set beginning in 1963.

As well as many other general engineering standards with application to historical computers:

* The threads of inch-based machine screws including UNC (coarse) and UNF (fine), used in very many US-designed computers.

+The '''American National Standards Institute''' (typically given as the acronym, '''ANSI''', usually pronounced "ann-see") is a large engineering standards organization with headquarters in Washington D.C. ANSI does not develop standards itself; rather, it accepts standards created by other organizations which meet ANSI's requirements for openness and accessibility, balance, and fair process.
