Bits in a Carrier file

Question

what would i need to do to write a program to display the bits in a carrier file.

Answer 1

Do you want to scrape off the LSBs (Least Significant Bits)? Have a look
at this for starters:public class LSBInputStream extends InputStream {
   private InputStream carrier; // the carrier input
   public LSBInputStream(InputStream carrier) { this.carrier= carrier; }
   public void close()  throws IOException { carrier.close(); }
   public int read() throw IOException {
      int bits= 0;
      for (int i= 0; i < 8; i++) { // read 8 bytes
         int byte= carrier.read();
         if (byte == -1) return (i == 0)?-1:bits; // eof reached in the middle?
         bits<<= 1; // roll in the next bit
         bits|= byte&1;
      return bits;
}This was from the top of my head, but I hope you get the picture
kind regards,
