it runs ok with \xFF here in 1.9

in 2.0 i need to patch in that file:

series.each_char do |key| # was .each but there is no alias to each_char 
any longer

does the top of switch.rb mention:

#encoding: ASCII-8BIT

(i do have a prototype of texexec in lua but no time to finish that now 
but i fear at some moment i have to do it as i cannot foresee ruby 2.0 
compatibility issues)
