Thanks for the help. (Actually, I am writing a compiler.) No, Delphi 3 doesn't support bit fields. I could fill a record structure and manipulate that before calling a procedure to pack it into the actual bitcode.
The table is a good idea. Another way of doing it is having a seperate function for each opcode, and for them to be dealt with seperately. (I think I'll use a table.) I must make sure here that the code is not too rigid.
