In jstevie, the 8th bit is mainly used for kanji manipulation and
usually each pair of 8-bit characters is handled as a kanji character.
To use 8-bit single-byte [European] characters on jstevie,

(1) select "#define SJIS" in env.h to enable 8th bit handling, and

(2) replace the definition of isKanji(c) in stevie.h by

	#define	isKanji(c)	0

    to disable double-byte handling.

I hope this helps.
