#
# unsigned() -- Converts binary byte string into unsigned integer.
# Detects overflow if number is too large.
#
# This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
# read from a file.
#
#
# raw() -- Puts raw bits of characters of string s into an integer. If
# the size of s is less than the size of an integer, the bytes are put
# into the low order part of the integer, with the remaining high order
# bytes filled with zero. If the string is too large, the most
# significant bytes will be lost -- no overflow detection.
#
# This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
# read from a file.
#
#
# rawstring() -- Creates a string consisting of the raw bits in the low
# order "size" bytes of integer i.
#
# This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
# to be written to a file.
