ng members of the
table---at least for Fortran, where an 8-bit integer is readily
available via integer*1, and arithmetic on the index is automatically
mod 256 (least-absolute-residue).  </p><p>Having little experience with C,
I got out my little (but BIG) Kernighan and Ritchie book to see if
there were an 8-bit integer type. I found none, but I did find char and
