If a C programmer knows nothing about bits, registers, offsets, vectors,
etc... THEN SHE/HE IS NOT A C PROGRAMMER!!!  There are many simple
and easy ways in C to play with bits, like >> and << and ~ and & and |
and stuff like that.  There are even two structured things, namely
enum and the 16 bit struct (struct Foo={unsigned magic:2;misc:4;jello:5;...};).
As fr Offsets... How do you think I can programm a library, with proper
function calls, which will make sence to the system???  And I very well
know what a REGISTER is; after all, it IS a C keyword :^).

My two cents worth...
