There is nothing defined in the Ada 83 LRM to provide this facility
directly, but there is often a package provided by your compiler
vendor that will do it. In TLD Mil-Std-1750A compiler there was a
package called (I think) BITS. Look in your compiler documentation and
you may find something.
As a matter of interest, what compiler are you using?
