I would have if vec handled 6 bit fields, but sadly it doesn't.

    Hmmm. I was just thinking of a 90-bit vec as a set. So the bits in vec(expr, offset, bits) is 1.

    I've probably missed some criterion why the vec can't be interpreted as 8bit chars for output.

      The average line size of the old format like demonstrated by the OP's code is ~ 14 characters + newline

      90 bits need 11.25 bytes per line.

      Not that much of a big win.

        I just modified my 54 bits/line solution to do base 50 math like you suggested to get 51 bits/line.

        It does work --- but ---it is SLOW!!!
