LCD control?

Does anybody know how to control an HD44780 based LCD? I'm going crazy over here because all the code I see is in assembly or borland c. I'm not even good enough at c to convert it to VC++, so I'm really screwed unless I can get something in VB or QBasic. This is really frustrating for me, so if you can help at all, please post or point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys,

bob

please?

Actually I've pored over this site for hours, understanding very little of it. EVERY LCD site links here, and I have spent a lot of time trying to use these commands in a basic language. I'm still having a very difficult time, but I have managed to get some of the commands to work after a day and two entire sleepless nights. I still need help, but I can understand if you guys don't know.

Thanks anyway,

bob

For what I understand is a RS-232 (Serial) LCD? If yes I've worked with a few of them earlier this year and was not hard at all. You just had to send a string with the character you wanted to display or a space to delete and that was all. But I've also seen some work with a bulk (serial but not assembled, virgin) LCD and the hard work was to program the MAX 232 interface to respond to the serial commands sent.

If it is the first case I can help if it is the second one please post a message to find some Assembler programmers, should not be difficult.
