So what would be the purpose of all this %addr/based/etc., stuff in this
context?? Is there something that it does that allows for something else
to be done that could not be done otherwise?

 Just trying to learn... :-)


You'd need the %addr/based version if you wanted to define subfields of
other types, say numeric.  I can't imagine why you would want to do
that, though.

Also, you'd need that other view of the DS if you wanted to put values
other than '0' or '1' in those character fields.  (Only checked at
compile time.)
