Joe,

lua 5.1.x unfortunately does not know about bit operations (rshift, and,
or). They plan to fix this in 5.2 but until then we need to use an
external "library".

Unfortunately the download site luaforge.net had a crash this week, and
bitlib can not be downloaded. I got it from a friendly lua developer
(thank you, Jan-Pieter Jacobs!) and put it up for download at
