It sounds like you are trying more to translate for me than him.  If you
really want to be in the translations business, then you should have
"translated" my message to him instead.  It would be something like:

"That is a logically incorrect and mildly annoying way to ask a question.
I'll therefore answer exactly what you asked so you will hopefully stop and
think and realize what you really asked, as apposed to what you most likely
had intended to ask.  However, since this is your first time here, and to
provide some content actually relevant to the PIC tag, I'll indirectly
answer your intended question below anyway.  Hopefully you'll feel enough
like a fool having been caught in front of 2000 people that next time you'l=
l
directly ask what you really want to know."

I thought what I said was rather more succinct and less in your face and
most likely effective enough, but alas Russell couldn't let it go at that.

Wow, that's old.  I don't know why the URL contains "autobaud", since the
mentioned macro computes the baud rate at assembly time, which is then fixe=
d
at run time.  By the way, the much updated version of that macro and many
others are available in the file STD.INS.ASPIC, which is part of my PIC
development environment described at http://www.embedinc.com/pic.

I have never written auto-baud code, so have no particular advice to offer
other than the usual READ THE DATASHEET extra carefully.  I do remember
reading in some of the datasheets of a "autobaud" feature.  If I remember
right, it provided a linking between the UART and one of the CCP modules to
allow capturing of a character period or some part thereof.  You then use
that information to compute the baud rate.  Sorry, I don't remember which
PICs those were.  Look around the more advanced 18Fs or maybe the
24F/24H/33F.
