WEEDER FREQUENCY COUNTER

;*********************************************************************
;* WEEDER FREQUENCY COUNTER
;* Fix for 2 line (8x2) displays that were sold as 16x1 displays
;*
;* Because most of these displays lack a controller chip
:* it is required that the code manually sets the address for the 
:* 9th char. That is what this code does.
;*
;* Questions?

;* Scroll through your code and locate "Shift".
;* Paste the following code starting with "Shift" and ending
;* just before the first "sub" command.
;*

  Thank-you, this is a very nice patch and once I corrected my original WCT5 program with the added config statements it works great on JHD161 displays..
