    <p>Hurray for pointers! </p> <p>This code works by looking ahead 12 bits for each byte and copying the proper bits forward. 12 bits is the bottom half (nybble) of the next byte and the top half of 2 bytes away.</p> <pre><code>unsigned char length = 10; unsigned char data[10] = {0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0A,0xBC}; unsigned char *shift = data; while (shift &lt; data+(length-2)) { *shift = (*(shift+1)&amp;0x0F)&lt;&lt;4 | (*(shift+2)&amp;0xF0)&gt;&gt;4; shift++; } *(data+length-2) = (*(data+length-1)&amp;0x0F)&lt;&lt;4; *(data+length-1) = 0x00; </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>Justin wrote:<br> @Mike, your solution works, but does not carry. </p> </blockquote> <p>Well, I'd say a normal shift operation does just that (called overflow), and just lets the extra bits fall off the right or left. It's simple enough to carry if you wanted to - just save the 12 bits before you start to shift. Maybe you want a circular shift, to put the overflowed bits back at the bottom? Maybe you want to realloc the array and make it larger? Return the overflow to the caller? Return a boolean if non-zero data was overflowed? You'd have to define what carry means to you.</p> <pre><code>unsigned char overflow[2]; *overflow = (*data&amp;0xF0)&gt;&gt;4; *(overflow+1) = (*data&amp;0x0F)&lt;&lt;4 | (*(data+1)&amp;0xF0)&gt;&gt;4; while (shift &lt; data+(length-2)) { /* normal shifting */ } /* now would be the time to copy it back if you want to carry it somewhere */ *(data+length-2) = (*(data+length-1)&amp;0x0F)&lt;&lt;4 | (*(overflow)&amp;0x0F); *(data+length-1) = *(overflow+1); /* You could return a 16-bit carry int, * but endian-ness makes that look weird * if you care about the physical layout */ unsigned short carry = *(overflow+1)&lt;&lt;8 | *overflow; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
