I am trying to port Flex to Macintosh Programmer's Workshop C, which
like VAX C treats characters as signed.  Has anyone in this part of
the world had any luck making Flex scan DEC multi-national characters
properly?

The best I have been able to do so far is to get Flex and its scanners
to pass [200-377] unchanged, but the following generates errors:

%%

<char with high bit set>

	{
		printf("High bit!");
	}
%%

Thanks.
