Is the MSB (Most significant byte) to the left or to the right?  If it is to
the left,

      ieventclass := (eventpack[3] and $F0) shr 4;
      ieventflags := (eventpack[3] and $0C) shr 2;
      iTmpSession1  := eventpack[3] and $03;

If its to the right


      ieventclass := (eventpack[0] and $F0) shr 4;
      ieventflags := (eventpack[0] and $0C) shr 2;
      iTmpSession1  := eventpack[0] and $03;

Subject: [DUG]: Needs some help please


Hi all.
I need some help with something.
I am trying to get some info out of a file that was created by someone else,
and there IS some doumentation, BUT, I am not sure if I have got the below
right.
Here is info from the document :-

4 byte EventPack structure:
xxxx0000 00000000 00000000 00000000 - event class   (4 bits)
0000xx00 00000000 00000000 00000000 - event flags   (2 bits)
000000xx xx000000 00000000 00000000 - event session (4 bits)
00000000 00xxxxxx 00000000 00000000 - event type    (6 bits)
00000000 00000000 xxxxxxxx xx000000 - event size    (10 bits)
00000000 00000000 00000000 00xxxxxx - event owner   (6 bits)

I have figured it out like this :-

//declaration :-
var eventpack : arry[0..3] of byte;

//read it eventpack from a memory stream
oMemStream.ReadBuffer(EventPack, sizeof(EventPack));

This is the bit I am not sure I have right :-

      ieventclass := eventpack[0] and $F0;
      ieventflags := eventpack[0] and $0C;
      iTmpSession1  := (eventpack[0] and $03 ) shl 2;
      iTmpSession2  := (eventpack[1] and $C0) shr 6;
      ieventsession := iTmpSession1+ iTmpSession2;
      ieventtype  := eventpack[1] and $3F;
      ieventsize  :=(eventpack[2] * 4)+ ((eventpack[3] and $C0) shr 6);
      ieventowner :=(eventpack[3] and $3F);

Am I right? if not, can someone please guide me here?

Thanks,

Jeremy Coulter
