ASCII-8? What's that?
Seriously, there are dozens of 8-bit codes with ASCII as a proper subset
in current use. Referring to any one of them as 8-bit ASCII is confusing
and inaccurate.

It shouldn't be hard to do, provided Aflex doesn't munge data into the
8th bit. Ada95 provides more support for 8-bit characters than Ada83, at
least in theory. Or you could try OpenToken, by Ted Dennison, which
should support 8-bit characters.
