Sorry about the screenshots. I will not do that again.

How should I start dissecting this then..?? How would I start dissecting the version..??

I believe that once I get started off on the right foot...I can take it from there.

Thanks,
Brian

Wireshark _bit* API accept cases where 0 bit is MSB (0x80),
and 7 bit is LSB (0x01).

Reading MIL-STD-2045-47001C spec this is reversed, i.e.
0-bit is LSB (0x01 or 2^0) aand 7-bit is MSB (0x80 or 2^7)

Bit endianess [1] in tvb_get_bitsN() is not supported,
so you need to implement it.

Working with bits is really phun, so enjoy! ;-)
