/*
** bitstring(): print bit pattern of bytes formatted to string.
**
** By J. Blauth, Sept. 1992. Hereby placed into the public domain.
**
** byze:    value to transform to bitstring.
** biz:     count of bits to be shown (counted from lowest bit, can be any
**          even or odd number).
** strwid:  total width the string shall have. Since between every 4 bits a
**          blank (0x20) is inserted (not added after lowest bit), width of
**          bitformat only is (biz+(biz/4-1)). Bits are printed right aligned,
**          positions from highest bit to start of string filled with blanks.
**          If value of strwid smaller than space needed to print all bits,
**          strwid is ignored (e.g.:
**                bitstr(s,b,16,5) results in 19 chars +'\0').
**
**   EXAMPLE:
**   for (j = 1; j <= 16; j++) { bitstring(s, j, j, 16); puts(s); }
**       1:                1
**       2:               10
**       3:              011
**       d: 0 0000 0000 1101
**       e: 00 0000 0000 1110
**       f: 000 0000 0000 1111
