In this industry, if you can't work a search engine, you're in big trouble. If you can't be arsed to do that, here's a link. ;-) http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/2006/05/07/google-search-syntax-dissected.html HTH., Syms. p.s. To the OP, I replied on C.A.F.

Google *CAN* be useful. Google is often a *PAIN*!!!! And you can't be sure which it will be until _after_ the search. I've made a semi-hobby of outsmarting Google for the last 18 months. One thing I've learned is precede all search terms with "allintext:" . That limits hits to pages with search term in body of page. Otherwise some hits will be to pages which make a reference to pages which contain the search term. The art comes in choosing optimum boolean expression to get what you really want ;)

The OP should use more standard terminology. Participants shouldn't have to google stuff like this up. Steve

People don't often express unsigned fixed point in this way. I wonder what might be consider the appropriate shorthand way to say "no sign, no integer part and 16 bits of fraction"? Regards, Steve
