Actually it's not mine: 8 bitdefs.tex is a file from the OzTeX distro  
<http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/>, at "/Applications/OzTeX 5.2/TeX/ 
Inputs/Plain/8bitdefs.tex", and I was simply forwarding it. It  
contains definitions like:

	\catcode135=13 \def á{\'a}

Similarly the other file option_keys was from the Textures distro,  
and contains definitions like:

	\catcode`\á=\active\defá{\'a}        % option e, then  a

It used to be available IIRC on the Blue Sky FTP server <ftp:// 
ftp.bluesky.com/>, but I can't find it right now.
