Ed, I see that even with your attempt to get a simple answer for a direct question, you still got crap, Like me I don't need crap, I'm married. Go to www.piclist.com The filter format is in the first page. Typically, use a [xxx]: as the format (square bracket, filter, square bracket, colon) The subject should be as complete a description of the problem as is possible in 60 characters or so. Compress and distill. The PICList uses topics to help keep track of various threads and off-topic posts. Therefore, your subject line must start with ONE (and only one) of these labels: [PIC]: ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BPIC%5D%3A ) This label is for posts that are strictly on the topic of PICs. If the subject is not PIC specific, please use another tag. Some examples of [PIC]: topics are: MPLAB or other PIC language questions, on chip peripherals, how to do some sort of thing in PIC assembly language or other PIC specific languages, "how do I...on a PIC". [SX]: - mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BSX%5D%3A%20 Items specific to the Ubicom SX microcontrollers [AVR]: - mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?Subject=%5BAVR%5D%3A%20 Items specific to the Atmel AVR microcontrollers [EE]: ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BEE%5D%3A ) This label is for topics that, while not necessarily about PICs, are of general interest to the EE community. How to hook something up to a microcontroller or other computer (not related to the PIC on board peripherals), how to measure something, how something works, news about companies involved in EE, etc... [OT]: ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BOT%5D%3A ) This label is for posts that are completely off the topic of PICs. The only thing we don't (ever) want to see are religious, hate, or political messages. [BUY]: - mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU?Subject=%5BBUY%5D%3A%20 People looking for parts, equipment, or consultants should use this topic. [AD]: ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BAD%5D%3A ) This label is for posts advertising a commercial product or service. Don't SPAM, do post [AD]: The colon following the label *is* required as part of the label, don't use more than one topic tag. If its not about PICs directly, that's ok, post it anyway but put [OT]: or [EE]: at the beginning of the subject line instead of [PIC]:.
