A brief abstract was what I had in mind. Slogging through thick
manuals that are undoubtedly accompanied by a dumb search engine or
none at all, isn't my idea of the fastest and most efficient way to
answer a specific question.

>So far the only flaming person here is you.

I don't seem to recall flaming. I did take slight issue to your tone,
which seemed to look down on me for not having *already* read those
manuals -- cover to cover, no doubt.

>They are freely available for downloading from the Intel site.

Oh.

I have not. I'm sorry you see it that way. As far as I see it, I got
some help that worked, some help that's gotta wait until I get a
chance to download some of the fancier debuggers or something, and
some help that was just plain confusing in its wording if not its
intent. Of course, it's way way better than nothing at all.
