+       of achar for 0xff to avoid the "Extended ASCII not
+       implemented" error message.

For the record, that's not just a workaround, but the right thing to do according to the standard. CHAR(255) produces the character with a sequence number of 255, which is what you want. ACHAR(A) nominally produces the character that corresponds to the ASCII value in that position, but even worse, the result is processor-defined for argument values outside [0,127]. :)
