My point Harry was that bitfields, almost by definition, are extremely volatile in their implimentation. It would be perfectly valid for Lattice or Aztec or anybody to change how they handled bitfields across releases, if they wish (by both K&R and ANSI reckoning). If you've got to _count_ on the exact bitfield implimentation, I still maintain you shouldn't be using bitfields then, because even if your code works now, it may not work tomorrow when a new version of a compiler comes out that does 'em differently. -Mike
