Now that I look at this more carefully, maybe the code
is not as bad as I thought. I still need two case statements,
since the octal values for a specific Greek character are
often not the same for !4 and !9 fonts. (If they were,
no one would be thinking about writing this function,
probably.)

I could probably write this code slightly more compactly,
but I'm not sure it is worth the trouble. It *is* formatted
nicely. ;-)

Cheers,

David
