Yes, you could do that, but there are 7 "wasted bits" in each byte assigned 
that way.  I was thinking about a way to set up a one-bit field, not an 8-bit 
field where only one bit is used.
As you pointed out, this whole thing may not be of great practical use due to 
the speed penalty.  However, I thought it an interesting problem, and I 
_still_ have no idea of how it can be done.
Thank you very much for your response anyway.
