Programmers of the world.  UNITE.  Don't MASK the 8th bit.  Here in
Iceland we DO need the 8th bit.  However most of the programs that we
use here in Iceland mask the 8th bit or somehow render it useless.  :-(
Meaning long tiring sessions in front of the screen, using DEBUG :-(


PLEASE Don't MASK the 8th bit.  (Even if the old wordstar did, it does
not mean that YOU must do that as well!!!)

I hope you take this into consideration.  PLEASE.
