We're a team!!  It is good to see synergy.

I have 1st and 2nd edition of Bruce Schneier's _Applied Cryptography_.  
We can point to pages in that if you have one.

There is probably a good URL out there on bit processing.  However, 
that is something that can be elaborated on the list as we discuss 
Transcript commands to do things.  This kind of thing is handy in all 
kinds of binary I/O.  For example, just the other day someone asked 
about certain file formats.  The answer just might require some work in 
tweaking bits.
