Description:
------------
  bit is a library that makes it easier to dynamically manipulate data
buffers that contain fields that do not have octet (byte) boundaries. An
example is the IP header which is generally dealt with at compile time via
bit fields in a structure.

A key feature of the bit library is support for loading data formats
described in XML files, and dynamically parsing those fields at run time.
This library was initially created to support reading various robotic device
I/O (IR sensors, motors) but has been used for run time parsing of IP, TCP,
UDP and RTP headers.

Additionally included is a separate library, bitgtk, which contains a set of
gtkmm widgets capable of displaying bit-oriented buffers.

A few other details:

* Source code location: http://miskatonic.cs.nmsu.edu/projects
* Language: C++
* Dependencies: boost, sigc++, gtkmm, libxml++



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  I've listed the dependencies above, and AFAIK all of the above libraries
are available in most Linux and FreeBSD distributions.
