Replying to a message of Tim Hutzler to Darryl Gregorash:
 TH>> What you are describing is a FIFO, or queue. They both work
 TH>> the same in that the first element in will be the first
 TH>> element out. Since you mentioned the word, "buffer", then
 TH>> I will presume that you are thinking of a FIFO stack.
 DG>> You mean "LIFO stack"
 TH> No, I should have stated FIFO, period. [grin]
No, the last 2 words.. a FIFO is a queue, a LIFO is a stack :)
But do we really know if he wants a Q or a stack??
 TH>> Also, when you stated. "Any data that could not fit in the
 TH>> buffer would fall off the top." 
 DG>> That is how a UART operates :)
 TH> That may be how UART, but IART different... [grin]
Yeah, but UARnT me :)
