with C++ compilers.

Many thanks to Runip Gopisetty <Runip.Gopisetty@Procket.com> for sending
173
a patch for adding functions for generic string import and export functions.

However, I decided to realize these in Perl instead (at least for the time
175
being); you can find them in the new module "Bit::Vector::String". This way
176
even octal representation and enumerations are supported.

Many heartfelt thanks go to Jamie Blustein <jamie@cs.dal.ca> /

<jamie@csd.uwo.ca> / <jamie@ACM.org> for sending me the article

"Performance Investigation of Bit-Counting Algorithms with a
181
Speedup to Lookup Table", by Eyas El-Qawasmeh, Department of
182
Computer Science and Information Systems, Jordan University of
183
Science and Technology, cited from the Journal of Research and
184
Practice in Information Technology, Vol. 32, No. 3/4, August/
185
November 2000, thus prompting my reconsideration of the
186
implementation of the "Norm()" method in this module.
