I'm running POVRAY 3.6.1 and I have a need to be able to use the full 8-bit
ASCII to include some German ligature characters. I noticed that in the
file 'parsestr.cpp' they chop the characters down to 7-bits. I also noticed
that apparently this was not a restriction for versions earlier than 3.5.0.

Is there any specific reason why the change? I don't see the need for it
myself.

Thanx.
