Hello list, I've got a quick question. I have a short, (16 bits) and need to set the upper 8 bits. I have 1-F which I need to use, and I need to set them in nibbles. so it'd look something like 0x00F1 or what ever I used for the last bit. any ideas on how to do this would be great. Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Web: tysdomain.com email: tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.
