Dave,  Bitwise operations can be done quite easily in Clipper.  The simple
solution is to download the Nanforum Toolkit from Nantucket's forum on
Compuserve.  It is a compilation of many functions donated by Nanforum
members and contains the bitwise operations that you are looking for.

The Nanforum Toolkit is public domain and source code is included.

Among the best routines in FT_Int86() which is an Int86 function written
in assembler permitting Clipper programmers to call DOS interrupts directly
from Clipper by simply loading an array and calling the function.
