 FT_BYTEXOR()
 Perform bit-wise XOR on two ASCII characters (bytes)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

      FT_BYTEXOR( <cByte1>, <cByte2> ) -> cNewByte

 Arguments

     <cByte1> and <cByte2> are characters from CHR(0) to CHR(255).
     May be passed in CHR() form, as character literals, or
     as expressions evaluating to CHR() values.

 Returns

     Returns resulting byte, in CHR() form.  If parameters are faulty,
     returns NIL.

 Description

     Can be used for bit-wise byte manipulation.  In effect, this is a
     bit-by-bit XOR operation.  Equivalent to XOR assembler instruction.

     This function is presented to illustrate that bit-wise operations
     are possible with Clipper code.  For greater speed, write .C or
     .ASM versions and use the Clipper Extend system.

 Examples

     This code performs a bit-wise XOR on two bytes represented
     by CHR(32) and CHR(55):

          cNewByte := FT_BYTEXOR( CHR(32), CHR(55) )
          ? ASC( cNewByte )     // result: 23
          ? cNewByte            // result: non-printable character

     For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
     link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
