The BNF standard refers to ISO-6429 and ISO-646 to define
characters and control characters. However Java uses
Unicode, and seems to be compatible with UTF-8.
I don't understand how to honour or utilize these standards
correctly. And I don't know what's compatible.
So, I have decided to let Java's io package work the way it
wants to. I implement terminals.DefaultSource.java using
java.io.DataInputStream and String.
The reader works fine.
So if you find some text that does not work perfectly, let
me know and we'll work it out.
