There is NO way you can have more than 8 flags in a byte without making restrictions about the number of flags that can be set at any one time! I could pack 255 flags in to a byte but then only 1 of the 255 flags could be set. If we are talking about general systems for storing flags then any combination of flags being set or unset should be allowed. 8 flags per byte is the maximum then. Jaco
