Re the following message, see PD:<ADA.MATH>BIT.ADA in the
Ada Repository on SIMTEL20.  This is a bit manipulation package
that is fairly transportable.

AND, OR, and XOR are defined on boolean arrays (whether packed or not).
If you have a great desire to apply these operators to Integers,
then you will have to implement them via pragma-Interfaced functions (in C
or assembler), or hope that your compiler supports packed boolean arrays
and Unchecked_Conversion between Integers and appropriately-long
packed, constrained, boolean arrays.
