numbers 0-7 are taken from the byte at the specified location, bit numbers 8-15 are taken from the
subsequent byte, etc. In each case, the lower bit number corresponds to the least significant bit of the
byte while the higher bit number corresponds to the most significant bit.
The return value will always be 0 or 1.
