 		 #141799 - more appropriate solutions?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
... rather than solely addressing the O/P's original question.

Take a look at this thread on the Keil forum:

http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread10184.asp

It's a classic case where the OP has a flawed approach, and is asking for help to fix a fundamentally broken solution!

So you think people should solely have addressed the fundamentally broken solution rather than, as actually happened, get him to explain the real requirement and change to a more appropriate solution?!

An analogy:

Q: When I hit a nut with a sledgehammer, it gets squashed to a nasty, mushy pulp with the nut all mixed up with bits of shell - how can I stop this?

So, should we just concentrate on devising ways to use a sledgehammer gently, or maybe design some jig that assures that the nut is cracked but not squashed, or some way to extract the bits of shell and re-form the nut, or should we rather suggest that the OP consider whether the sledgehammer is not, in fact, an appropriate solution...?
