Thanks.

If that is possible, yes.

Procedures to print vars in all kinds of formats (like fixed point,
date, time, taking an exact amount of chars etc etc) are not only
usefull for lcd's, but also to serial ports and other streams. So if
we can make them generic, we only have to make & maintain them once.

If there is a need for specific procedures for lcd's, then we should
of course add them. But even for those procedures, try to reuse (call)
existing code if you can. This means less code that is more often
used, so better tested, will take less work to maintain and provide
better quality.

The first application using jallib, that is also part of jallib. We
have of course samples, but their purpose is to show how jallib is
used. This app is usefull on it's self - people could get the hex
file, put it into an 16f88 and have something usefull.

I recreated Seb's 16f88 testboard on a piece of prototyping pcb. There
should be a schematic and a pcb would be nice. So assistance would be
appriciated very much :)
