Good evening,
I successfully (thanks for helping) run a display at my parrallel port
and I want to use for showing the output of a (pascal coded)
application.
(The application reads from two serial ports, and the results,
computed by the program from the port's reading, should be displayed).
I tried to write the output to a file and display the text by using
the readfile plugin. But that means to open and close the files over
and over and that doesn't lead to nice result.
Can I treat the lcd as a file and write to that file, as I would do
with serial displays?
The background is, I am constructing a portable measuring unit with no
monitor, it has only that lcd for output.
Richard
