BitVector, BitArray (2D), and Bit4D: C++ classes for storing large numbers of bits. Even a boolean variable in C++ takes an entire byte of storage. For those apps that use a LOT of memory but need to store large vectors, 2D arrays, or 4D arrays of bits, these classes work by creating an array of unsigned char, then providing mappings from the bits to the bytes. Each zip file contains source for a simple sample program that shows how to use each class. (~2 KB each, ZIP file)
