I hope someone can answer this puzzler for me...

  I have a project that uses data packed into a bit stream. Inside the
stream are a number of fields, each a certain number of bits wide.
This number can vary from 1 to 24 bits, depending on the field. In
C++, I could declare a structure like this

 Typedef struct {

int field1  :2;   // variable 1 is 2 bits wide
int field2  :5;  //      "        2 " 5  "      "
int field3  :7;  //      "        3 " 7  "      "

Is there any way to do the same thing in Delphi?

        Pretty sure you can't handle bit-size field quite this
way in Delphi (I'd love to have someone explain how wrong I am
on this one!) Seems like the smallest thing you can access is a
byte - then you can test bits in your byte. Or you can sometimes
use a set for bitfields...
