demo dll documentation

I can't seem to find the usage instructions for demo.dll. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

That's the one. I forget everything it did (lots of math), but it was very useful. I'd really like to have the functions and parameters guide.

Played around with the forum search a bit more and found most of it (IIRC there are more functions than this).

The Demo.dll shipped with the LCD smartie program has some useful functions you can use...
Try to play with it its great. Special with math functions that smartie doesn't support in current version.
usage is
$dll(demo.dll,5,param1,param2) where "demo.dll" is the filename, 5 is the number of function you want to call, param1 is the first parameter and param2 is the second parameter you send to dll.

A list with function discovered follows:

1. add
   example: $dll(demo.dll,1,44,192)
   result:=236
2. subtract
   example: $dll(demo.dll,2,44,192)
   result:=-148
3. multiply
   example: $dll(demo.dll,3,44,192)
   result:=8448
4. divide
   example: $dll(demo.dll,4,44,192)
   result:=0.23
5. display as par1par2
   example: $dll(demo.dll,5,44,192)
   result:=19244
6. display time
   example: $dll(demo.dll,6,44,192)
   result:=2:07:32 pm
7. display credits screen
   example: $dll(demo.dll,7,44,192)
   result:=BasieP Ruled
8. display non character text
   example: $dll(demo.dll,8,LCD SMARTie,192)
   result:=|CD 5|\/|4R7i3
9. is for converting the output from $bar so that _ and the full block can be changed to other characters (such as custom defined characters...)
   Usage is: $dll(demo,9,[string],[char1][char2])
   example: $dll(demo,9,$Bar($CPUUsage%,100,10),AB)
   This would cause a bar graph to be displayed but instead of _ a B will appear, and instead of a full block a A will appear. This can be used with other commands than $Bar.
10. seems to be doing ( parameter1 * 1.8 ) + 32 - So may be good for converting from degrees Celcius to degrees Fahrenheit.
