Well, you can do some of the above with bit sets, but to really do it 
well you either need non-standard M2 or a set of assembly language 
routines to link in.  I wrote a set of ASM's for Stony Brook (old 
version; the new bersion uses BAND, BOR, BXOR).  If you are interested 
(they will probably work for your version, too), let me know.
