excel vba test if particular bits set in long code example

Example: excel vba test if particular bits set in long

'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set 
'within a 32-bit Long integer. If ALL specified bits are set then 
'this function returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are
'not set then this function returns False.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 31, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: bits can be specified in any order.
'Note: any number of bits can be specified in one call.
