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.
