click on "PIC FAQ", that should be obvious.
Now you have a choice of:
- Beginners Checklist. Steps, tutorials,help, advice.
- Development tools / Programmers
- Instruction Set Reference
- Routines / Code library / Input/Output

isn't "Routines / Code library / Input/Output" the obvious choice? That gets
you to
- Input / Output
- Math / Functions / Conversions
- Conditionals / Program flow
- Time / Clocks / Delays
- Memory / Tables / Data
- Interrupts

and below that is a link to the C specific library, but lets say that you
miss that and go to "Input / Output" where the major categories are:
- Ports
- Peripherals
- Networks
- Data Link - Busses and Com Standards
- Physical layer - Analog Signal Generation and Detection

under "Peripherals" we find:
- Visual
- Audio
- Mechanical

and under "Visual" we find "PIC Specific LCD" which gets us a list like:
- matrix LCD driver
- 4-bit 8x2 Hitachi LCD driver
- PIC C Hitachi LCD Drivers by Andy Kunz
- Vee (negative supply) from PIC PWM by David Covick
and some links to other sites below that.

Now, how could anyone get lost there? If you went to the C Library, its the
same but there are a lot fewer entries... even easier. If you search the
site for "LCD" you get the generic LCD page which links to PIC Specific LCD
at the bottom.

Any suggestions for making it easier to find things on the site would be
very appreciated.

Check the piclist.com site - there is a complete 4/8-bit interface in HiTech
C
for those LCD's that I did.

I don't know how to find it as the site is organized counter-intuitively (to
me,
anyway).  You'd have to ask James Newton - he gave me the URL one time.

There is a bug in the posted code.  In the routine which writes a byte
(selecting 4/8 bit mode of course), there is an extra click on the E pin.
You
need to move that to inside the 8-bit #if portion.

My apologies.. I should have mentioned that I don't know assembly. Is there
a
HiTech-C equivalent? I have MPLAB and PIC-Lite.
