Note that the old string 'str' is not modified. <p> The maximum value of 'n' is limited by the value of the 'maximum bits in a bitfield' entry in the driver config file. <p> The new string will automatically be extended if needed. <p> Bits are packed 6 per byte in printable strings. <p> See also: <A HREF=clear_bit.html> clear_bit </A>, <A HREF=test_bit.html> test_bit </A> <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <A HREF=http://wagner.princeton.edu/~tim> Tim Hollebeek </A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.imaginary.com/~beek/"> Beek </A>@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, TMI-2, and elsewhere </ADDRESS>
