Datasheets aren't manuals. They assume that you already know what, say, 
a Gated D-Latch is, and that you just want to know what its maximum 
driving current is or something. If you *don't* already know what a 
Gated D-Latch is, the datasheet will be of no use at all. You need 
*real* instructions.

Damnit, I said don't answer that. :-(
