I appreciate the flood of mail and responses that were received on bit 
switching.  The most effective means of bit switching (for my application) 
seems to be:

		c = (b1 ^ b2) & mask;
		b1^ = c;
		b2^ = c;   

(And to think I was considering switching *one* bit at a time! :-) )
Again, thanks to all.
