Hello Roy!


 


Thanks for your reply to my message, and the advice you gave me. It may 
be quite useful (I don't know - I haven't got foar enough to include it 
in my program yet). I just thouht I'd mention also that I've found some 
code that may be similar in operation, but a little more ordered. You 
may recogise its purpose straight away - can you tell me if it's what I 
want (please note that I'm mainly interested in this so I don't have to 
waste a whole byte where a single bit could be used)? Here's the code 
(it's from the header file of a serial comms driver):


 


typedef unsigned short  word;





typedef struct _lcr {


   word   databits           : 2;     //


   word   stopbits           : 1;     //


   word   parity             : 2;     //


   word   stuckparity        : 1;     //


   word   breakenable        : 1;     //


   word   dlab               : 1;     //Numbers specify no. of bits?


} lcr;


 


Do you think this code is what I've been talking about (or something 
like it)? Thanks (now and in advance) for your help.


 


                             Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
