Sorry, I have to disagree with most of your post - the original emailer=20 did not post in the PIClist so our "rules" are irrelevant and Olin was=20 reporting the quality (lack of) of his question in follow-up to a recent=20 thread about questions. The OP (or someone with the same problem(s)) is now posting similar=20 garbage in the USENET sci.electronic.design newsgroup:- "hi i want to knw if anybody knw about how to program a dspic30f series using c language??" and "hmm hello can somebody tell me how to use a gatedtimer1 connected to a transducer?? i mean im stuck on the coding part in coding in c language. i want to start pulse frm transducer then timer start when i receiv pulse then stop timer and value saved in mem...." and getting similar responses to Olin's e.g:- "The one who asks for help should have certain of knowledge and certain level of culture. The nature of your questions and the manner of your writing suggests that you are ignorant punk. Try asking your questions at some other place, may be other punks will help you." regards, George Smith --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
