UNIXpc nroff driver tables [REPOST]

It's nice to know that % can be used in nterm tables to set the 8th
bit, but I haven't seen an answer to one of the other questions yet:
is there any way to get an ASCII 0 ('\0') into an nterm printer driver
table?  My LQ-850 wants them (\0 turns off modes, \1 turns them on, etc.)
and when I put \0 in the tab.lq850 file, it acts as an end-of-string
character.  This sounds like a fundamental bug to me - other than using
the fx filter, has anyone found a way around it?  (I'd like to not use
filters - the fewer processes the better...)
