Actually, I was not looking for more, personally.  A friend was trying to figure this out and he said he considered QBitArray, but could not see how to do the integer field.  I told him I would ask here.

The folks on this mailing list are great.  Very helpful and very knowledgeable. 

Thanks to all for your responses.
