PH>Bit Fields's a cool scene. Dig it!
 RB> Does anyone know how to declare a variable that holds only one bit
PH>of
 RB> information.. (You know only two values (0 or 1)) ???
PH>  In other words, a boolean type? Well, you can't. You can, however,
PH>do one of two things. You could declare an int (or a short or even a
PH>char) and use that for one boolean value. (You could even use the
PH>typedef keyword to create a new BOOL type.) The other thing you could
PH>do is use one int (or short or long or whatever) to hold many boolean
PH>values, then use bitwise AND (&) and OR (|) operators to manipulate
PH>each bit.
This should expand your knowledge abit..
