Hello Marc:

You are right. I should say "grep". I guess you will use the
"keys-be.h" file. The arrays in the
tables in this file are unsigned char, so you would use 'a', 'b' etc
for initializers. For nonprinting chars you would use '\xxx', but 0xxx
works equally well.

The encoding should be plain ascii. See

http://www.cdrummond.qc.ca/cegep/informat/Professeurs/Alain/files/ascii.htm

Here, the first table is "plain ascii". The second table is the
"extended ascii". The BCC compiler
ignores the extended ascii chars.

For example, in your case, the fourth char in the first table is 'é'
and there is a 130 in that position of the file "keys-be.h". Replacing
'é' wilth '\202' you use only plain ascii chars.
