>>>I have run into a wall. I have a argument that is a set of bit flags. Currently, I have hit the 32 bit integer limit using the VFP bit functions of 32 bit. Now I am looking for a means to extend this to more flags (bits) without having to do a large rewrite in my system. The question is, is there a known UDF function that mimics the BITTEST (and possible other bit-wise functions) that can deal with numbers larger then 32 bits?

Since I don't know of such a beast - and then, also, how would anything from VFP be passed to it as a proper above-32-bit integer - I went straight for plan B.
