In a bidirected graph, each end of each edge is independently oriented. We show how to express any column of the incidence matrix as a half-integral linear combination of any column basis, through a simplification, based on an idea of Bolker, of a combinatorial algorithm of Appa and Kotnyek. Corollaries are that the inverse of each nonsingular square submatrix has entries 0, $\pm{1\over 2}$, and ±1, and that a bidirected integral linear program has half-integral solutions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
