SQR and Bit Manipulation

[Dave Thorburn <thorburn@CONL.NET>]

I have a client department that insists on receiving information
represented as bits within a one-byte field.

The values of eight one-byte flags are:

flag         Value
------------------------
flag1        0
flag2        0
flag3        0
flag4        0 or 1
flag5        0 or 1
flag6        0 or 1
flag7        0 or 1
flag8        0 or 1

How do I get these values into a one-byte numeric field
as bits 0 - 7 (eight bit byte) ???
