[comp.lang.c] 8-bit characters

Hi C-Gurus. I was wondering if anybody has written C-code that display
8-bit characters (like the extended ascii for the pc). I want to be
able to display french accented characters on a Sun console but the
regular ascii code doesn't allow this. I know that this is possible
with version 18.57 of emacs (at least it says so) but I don't access
to the code so I don't know how it's done.

Could some kind soul bail me out. I know it interests the Nordic
countries a lot because it was somebody from sweden that added that
functionality (and by the way 8-bit printing capability to Tcsh also
[Johan Widen SICS Sweden no email address]).

This is mass acknowledgement to all those who replied. I've done so on
individual basis, but I'm sending this so as not to get responses from
potential helpers.

The problem was principally due to the fact that I was running 
SunOS 4.0.3c whereas at least 4.1's needed. I now run 4.1.1 and
everything's in order.
