Try run c:\IC -config. Check out your lib-files. (...) (27 years ago, 3-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Dale, For this to work a couple of things have to be true, first the Start_LCD, Stop_LCD, and putlcdchar() functions have to be located in the 256 bytes of on-board RAM (or in the 512byte EEPROM) The second thing is that your putchar_LCD doesn't (...)
