The drivers plug into NetBSD's wscons
framework as a regular VT100 console.  You can actually run a login
and shell using the LCD and keypad as console and keyboard.  With
the drivers enabled, you just write your program as a regular
console text-mode application and don't have to be concerned with
the details of the HD44780 or the polling/debouncing logic of the
keypad.

That is what I am looking for under Linux; Charles, thanks for the
link, I have contacted Micrium about getting something I can work with
to accomplish that task. Thank you for the help thus far.
