DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       These bitwise functions are built into  the  compiler  and
       return  the  data  type of their argument(s).  Their argu-
       ments must be iinntteeggeerr or llooggiiccaall values.

       The bitwise combinatorial  functions  return  the  bitwise
       ``and''  (aanndd),  ``or'' (oorr), or ``exclusive or'' (xxoorr) of
       two operands.  NNoott returns the bitwise complement  of  its
       operand.

       _L_s_h_i_f_t, or _r_s_h_i_f_t with a negative _n_b_i_t_s, is a logical left
       shift with no end around carry.  _R_s_h_i_f_t, or _l_s_h_i_f_t with  a
       negative  _n_b_i_t_s,  is  an  arithmetic right shift with sign
       extension.  No test is made  for  a  reasonable  value  of
       _n_b_i_t_s_.

       These functions may be used to create a variety of general
       routines, as in the following statement  function  defini-
       tions:

       iinntteeggeerr bbiittsseett,, bbiittccllrr,, ggeettbbiitt,, wwoorrdd,, bbiittnnuumm

       bbiittsseett(( wwoorrdd,, bbiittnnuumm )) == oorr((wwoorrdd,,llsshhiifftt((11,,bbiittnnuumm))))
       bbiittccllrr(( wwoorrdd,, bbiittnnuumm )) == aanndd((wwoorrdd,,nnoott((llsshhiifftt((11,,bbiittnnuumm))))))
       ggeettbbiitt(( wwoorrdd,, bbiittnnuumm )) == aanndd((rrsshhiifftt((wwoorrdd,,bbiittnnuumm)),,11))

FFIILLEESS
       These functions are generated in-line by the f77 compiler.
