Without any further information on your part, we can only guess at what
the problems might be. Crystal ball says that Thomas' su

Alan,
I stand corrected as my path never led me back to any form of PASCAL. And,
frankly, my path rarely led me again to having to do what we describe as
twiddling bits with the minor exception when doing something like setting the
bits needed to specify what permissions should be associated wi
Thanks a lot all for your suggestions, I am clear now.

Well explained, Roger.
Your explanation reminds me why some languages very deliberately do not want
the C operators of pre/post increment/decrement.
Similar to your argument, code in C like:
Y = X++
Or
Y = ++X
And similarly the -- versions, have a sort of side effect of changing X
