storage size of "bit" data type..

[Alex Mayrhofer <axelm@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

i'm trying to find out the storage size for bit(n) data. My initial 
assumption would be that for any 8 bits, one byte of storage is required.

Is this assumption correct? I didn't find that information in the online 
docs.

thanks,

Alex
