Therefore a bar my look strange. Make the ASCII code of the full block configurable... 2003-09-14 Markus change %t tokens from Byte/sec to kB/sec, ith one decimal places. Either make it configurabel, or add new tokens. 2003-10-29 Matt Thrailkill > To go off on another tangent... have you at all considered some sort of > marquee support?

What do you think? 2003-12-31 Stefan ??? add support for software-controlled backlight for HD44780 http://www.jalcds.de/images/4x20backlight.gif
