The macros, unless I'm mistaken, are there to manipulate the bits in a 
single int named flags.

What they are talking about now, is putting all the variables that the 
flags were were supposed to represent back in as defined variables, but 
this time, using the variablename:X format to specify how many bits the 
variable should take up.

flags.


I also have been looking through references to "flags" for making sure 
that they were all using unsigned int's, as mentioned before.

I am now confused as to what direction flags are going.
