Binary String To String Function
Bitwise Class

Public Function BinaryStringToString( _
      ByVal vValue As Variant _
    , ByVal vToLSBFirst As Variant _
    , Optional ByVal vFmLSBFirst As Variant _
    ) As Variant

"Binary String To String" or "String From Binary String"
Uses each character from one string to form one bit of another string.
Turns a string such as "0000001100001100" into something Chr$(3) + Chr$(12).
Order of incoming BITS determined by vFromLSBFirst argument.
Order of outgoing BYTES determined by vToLSBFirst.
The inverse of this function is BinaryStringFmString.

Examples: 
    BinaryStringToString("0000001100001100", False, False) = Chr$(3) + Chr$(12)
    BinaryStringToString("0000110000000011", True,  False) = Chr$(3) + Chr$(12)
    BinaryStringToString("0011000011000000", False, True) = Chr$(3) + Chr$(12)
    BinaryStringToString("1100000000110000", True,  True) = Chr$(3) + Chr$(12)
Note that arguments to this function and BinaryStringToString are organized so that the functions are the inverse of each other when the second and third arguments are the same.

vValue: The string in which each character represents one of the bits within the result string. Function returns Null if vValue is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

vToLSBFirst: True if the result string should represent the bits with the least-significant-byte first, and False if it should represent the bits with the most-significant-byte first. vToLSBFirst defaults to False if it is Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.

vFmLSBFirst: True if the bits in string vValue are organized with the least-significant-bit first, and False if they are organized with the most-significant-bit first. vFmLSBFirst defaults to False if it is missing or Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.
