#  unsigned() -- Converts binary byte string into unsigned integer.
#  Detects overflow if number is too large.
#
#  This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
#  read from a file.
#
#  raw() -- Puts raw bits of characters of string s into an integer.  If
#  the size of s is less than the size of an integer, the bytes are put
#  into the low order part of the integer, with the remaining high order
#  bytes filled with zero.  If the string is too large, the most
#  significant bytes will be lost -- no overflow detection.
#
#  This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
#  read from a file.
#
#  rawstring() -- Creates a string consisting of the raw bits in the low
#  order "size" bytes of integer i.
#
#  This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
#  to be written to a file.
