Here's some procs I wrote that should help you out:
}
Procedure SetBit(Var Number : Byte; Bit : Byte);
Begin
Number := Number OR (1 SHL Bit);
End;
Procedure ClearBit(Var Number : Byte; Bit : Byte);
Begin
Number := Number AND NOT (1 SHL Bit);
End;
Function ReadBit(Number, Bit : Byte) : Boolean;
Begin
ReadBit := (Number AND (1 SHL Bit)) <> 0;
End;
{
OK, provided you know binary, this should be pretty simple to implement. The
bits are of course numbered 7-0. SetBit sets a given bit to 1, ClearBit sets a
given bit to 0, and ReadBit returns TRUE if 1, FALSE if 0. Anyway, hope that
helps...
