	Folks,

	Anyone know how to preform bit wise operations on the Atari.
	I have an Atari 800xl, and have developed a simple player
	missle graphics game. The problem is that I have two players
	that fire missles, but when I move the missles up/down in
	memory I zap one of the players missle bit map because they
	share memory bytes. What I would like to do is mask out the
	bits that apply to a specific player. Also, all this is being
	done in basic, any ideas? Another question, in Atari basic
	how are HEX numbers represented?

	Thanks in advance.
