+/* mbed TextDisplay Library Base Class
+ * Copyright (c) 2007-2009 sford
+ * Released under the MIT License: http://mbed.org/license/mit
+ *
+ * A common base class for Text displays
+ * To port a new display, derive from this class and implement
+ * the constructor (setup the display), character (put a character
+ * at a location), rows and columns (number of rows/cols) functions.
+ * Everything else (locate, printf, putc, cls) will come for free
+ *
+ * The model is the display will wrap at the right and bottom, so you can
+ * keep writing and will always get valid characters. The location is 
+ * maintained internally to the class to make this easy
