>*The* correct term? Who decided this? I really want to know, it'd >make manual writing so much easier if I could just go ask some what >*the* correct meaning of words like "microcode" and "baud". Pardon the drift... I think any lawyer at Intel could tell you what *the* definition of microcode is. (Then again, any lawyer at AMD might disagree.) Baud is frequently misused as a synonym for bps (perhaps misused more often than otherwise!), but there is only the one *correct* meaning. ---------------------------------------------------------- Gordon S.
