Not in standard Pascal, but when Turbo Pascal came
along, it introduced the unsigned BYTE data-type
( in a addition to the signed CHAR type ) as an 
extension.

Turbo sort of became more standard than the standard...
you may want to think about implementing BYTE if you
intend to leverage the large codebase of Turbo-oriented
source out there.
