Not sure what you mean by "sets" in this case.
Bits used as sets, 1 = IN, 0 = OUT, each bit represents one set. In the case of MULTI a set is an independent list, SC, WS, PH, JP, etc. Implementations of PASCAL used this idea for "sets", bitwise operations on bytes are efficient. It starts to get more trouble if you need more than 8 sets ;-)
identify different lists, like those currently used in the last octet.
Yes, up to 23 = 8 + 8 + 7 independent lists in a MULTI result. But then SURBL would be the first BL using more than 7 bits for this purpose. Bye, Frank
