Although it is true that pc does not have an otherwise clause, pxp, when
given the -O option, will translate the case statements appropriately. [I
think the keyword in Pascal is `others:' to get it to do this.] This is what
the TeX distribution does, and it works fine. If it works for TeX, it'll
work for almost anything.
   I think this applies to both 4.1 and 4.2 bsd, but maybe just 4.2.
   The -O option is undocumented, of course. [Like having to use -J for long
jumps to work correctly.]
