[lcd4linux @ 2005-04-20 05:49:21 by reinelt]

Changed the code to add some VT100-compatible control sequences (see the comments above).
A configfile boolean option 'VT100_Support' (default to 1) indicate if the display in
used support these control-sequences or not.

+ * 
+ * ******** UPDATE *********
+ * I have added a "VT-100 Compatible mode" that allows the driver to support
+ * control-sequence code. This greatly reduce flickering and eliminate the need
+ * for the back-buffer. But it is optional since all displays cannot support them.
+ * Here are the codes:
+ * Delete the display (but does not move the cursor) : 
+ *    "ESC [ 2 J"     (0x1b 0x5b 0x32 0x4a)
+ * Position the cursor :
+ *    "ESC [ YY ; XX H" ( 0x1b 0x5b YY 0x3b XX 0x48 ) where YY is the ascii for the line 
+ *    number, and XX is the ascii for the column number ( first line/column is '1', not zero)
+ * Delete to the end of line from current cursor position :
+ *    "ESC [ 0 K" ( 0x1b 0x5b 0x30 0x4b )
+ * Set Country Code : 
+ *    "ESC R NN"  (0x1b 0x52 NN) where NN is the country code *in byte, NOT ascii*.
+ *    The default is 0 (USA), see below for specific countries. 
+ *    the list of accessible characters page are available on this page : 
+ *    http://www.wincor-nixdorf.com/internet/com/Services/Support/TechnicalSupport/POSSystems
+ *    /Manuals/BAxx/index.html
+ * Get the display identification : (Doesn't work reliably, timing issues here)
+ *    "ESC [ 0 c" ( 0x1b 0x5b 0x30 0x63). Return a string which look like this : 
+ *  ESC [ ? M ; NN ; OO ; PP ; QQ c) where M is type of display (2 for VFD),
+ *  NN is the rom version, 00 is the current caracter set, PP is the number of lines and 
+ *  QQ the number of colomns.  
+ * 
+ *
+ * A "bar" capability is now provided if the config file has a "BarCharValue" parameter in it.
+ *
+ * The code come mostly taken from the LCDTerm driver in LCD4Linux, from 
+ * Michaels Reinelt, many thanks to him.
+ *
+ * This driver is released under the GPL.
