- * $FUNCNAME$
- * FT_BITSET()
- * $CATEGORY$
- * String
- * $ONELINER$
- * Set selected bit in a byte
- * $SYNTAX$
- * FT_BITSET( <cByte>, <nBitPos> ) -> cByte
- * $ARGUMENTS$
- * <cByte> is a character from CHR(0) to CHR(255).
- *
- * <nBitPos> is a number from 0 to 7 conforming to standard right-to-left
- * bit numbering convention and representing the position of the bit
- * within the byte.
- * $RETURNS$
- * Returns new byte, with designated bit set. If parameters are faulty,
- * returns NIL.
- * $DESCRIPTION$
- * In effect, ORs argument byte with a byte that has only the target bit
- * set. If bit is already set, it remains set.
- * Note: Calls FT_ISBIT() which is also in this Library.
- *
- * This function is presented to illustrate that bit-wise operations
- * are possible with Clipper code. For greater speed, write .C or
- * .ASM versions and use the Clipper Extend system.
- * $EXAMPLES$
- * This code would set bit 4 in a byte represented by CHR(107):
- *
- * cNewbyte := FT_BITSET( CHR(107), 4 )
- * ? ASC( cNewbyte ) // result: 123
- * ? cNewbyte // result: '{'
- *
- *
- * This code would set bit 5 in the byte represented by the letter 'A'.
- *
- * ? FT_BITSET( 'A', 5 ) // result: 'a'
- * // bit 5 set
- *
- * For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
- * link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.

- * FT_BITCLR() FT_ISBIT()
