Is there anybody out in the big world who know of any Lex or similar
tool that can handle 8 bit character codes.

I have not been able to convince my lex, which should be the latest
from AT&T (version 4.1), that there exist 8 bit character codes.
The reason, as I have detected it (I am *not* a lex expert), is that
the arrays generated by lex is not capable of handling more than the
standard 7bit charsets.

If anybody out there has knowledge of a way out of this problem I would
be most grateful.
