excel vba test if specific bits set in integer
'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set
'within a 16-bit Integer. If ALL specified bits are set then
'this function returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are
'not set then this function returns False.
'Bits are numbered from 0 to 15, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.
'Note: bits can be specified in any order.
'Note: any number of bits can be specified in one call.
