Hi,

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help. This looks very promising. I will 
test it on Monday.

Regards, Marjolaine.

You could do something like:

def bitget(value, bit_number):
    return (value & (1 << bit_number)) != 0

which will return True or False for the given bit number, and this 
function works on numpy arrays.  (Bits are numbered base-0 -- I don't 
know if that matches matlab).

Hope that helps,
Mike
