Actually, I will use it for ...

struct abc
{
BYTE a ;
BYTE r ;
BTYE g ;
BYTE b ;
} ;

union zeta
{
DWORD color ;
abc components ;
};

I thought this was a easy way to do bit shifting ... any comments ?

Intel uses the union/struct way for their SSE instruction code samples - so it can''t be that unreliable
I''ve used this technique for my vectors, and it works very well.


Give me one more medicated peaceful moment.
