I'd like to look at this 'test.'
I've proven many times that documentation != implementation. I mean no
disrespect for Mr. Cox, but often times what my code does and what my
documentation explains don't exactly line up, and this is true of many
programmers and chip engineers.
IAE I have *not* been following this thread and apologise if my comment
is out in left field.
