Hi folks!  I was trying to use LEX to process a text (yes, text) file
that happens to use all eight bits (the 8th bit signifies Hebrew text).
I just inserted the 8-bit letters in the usual way, but LEX choked on
it.  (It didn't produce any C output at all.)  This couldn't just be
a coincidence; is there anyway I can tell LEX that I'm going to use
all 8 bits?
Any help will be much appreciated.
