in reply to how does vec() return?

16 x 8 = 128  (i.e. > 64)

With

... for (0..16) { my $value = vec($mask,$_,8); print "$value\n"; }

I do get (as expected):

255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

In other words, the offset is in units as specified in width (8 bits here).

    Thanks a lot. I thought that the index was always in bits...
