- The DOS version of GNU Emacs does this properly: there's a flag pass-8
- which (as the name suggests) passes all 8-bits. I also have some minor
- hacks to the C-code of the stock GNU Emacs distribution to create a new
- binary that always passes all 8-bits. E-mail me if you want the patches.
- Be forwarned, though: you'll have to recompile Emacs.
