That looks promising it looks like instead of moving the set-bit of the
mask you move the value, obvious really but I didn't know it could be
done. I'll give it a go. The other solution I was thinking of was
converting the value to binary abd then to a string so that I could
walk along it testing each character using string functions. Your
solution looks neater (assuming lua can deal with bit-shifting). The
function in question is DecToBin() in lirc.lua.
