st: Decomposing integers

Hi,
I have integer numbers of the following form:
X=Sum[i=0/4](a[i]2^i)+(a[5]*2^5)
where a[i] equals either 0 or 1 if i=0/4 and a[5] equals to any
positive integer or 0.
Given this construction I would like to find the unique combinations
of a[i]'s that generated X.
For example:
X=22 was generated using a[1]=1, a[2]=1 and a[4]=1.
So I would like to construct a local that contains the following list
0 1 1 0 1 0
X=65 was generated using a[0]=1 and a[5]=2
So in this case the local should contain 1 0 0 0 0 1
Is this possible?
Thanks
Antonis
