If this is the second edition (subtitled "based on Ada 95"), see page
118. He discusses bit-wise operations on modular types. I didn't find
anything on packed Boolean arrays, which is another way to do bit
manipulation. If you don't have the Ada 95 edition, go get it!

I don't have the other books you mentioned.
