Thanks guys, too bad bitfields are not supported - is there a special reason 
why bitfields are not supported? I know there is a danger with them for 
direct bitwise manipulation, but I find them very useful, and necessary - 
since I'm doing alot of direct manipulation on arbitrary bitfield size types 
(imaging and cryptography).
thanks again
