Hi.

I saw somewhere that u could assign variables to certain bits in a
variable.
something like:
//Bit 0 of Info=active/nonactive
//Bit 1-2 of Info=Mode number (0-3)
 stuct INFO {
         0 : Active;
        1,2 : Mode;
 } Info;

This would be better than what I am currently doing, which is bitwise
math to get the info that i want.
