Gary:

I'd get a first year college programming text -- one that covers
binary numbers and how they work.  That'll explain shifting, etc. and
how/why it works.  Going the other way will be a little trickier,
though.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
