Vga hires text "wrapper"

(yep, didn't get a better word for that, sorry)

I wrote a little object to use the chip gracey's vga hires text object without manipulating arrays directly, with putstr/putchar/whatelse functions.
Maybe it can be useful to someone else, so i put it here, in case of :)
I used some chip gracey's vga text 32*15 functions like the put* ones.
Nothing special, but it can maybe save some time.

I included a demo that display text from serial port with a header and a footer. i think you can re-create the BSODomizer with that too.
I don't think it's big enough to be on that object exchange, but if you think it is, feel free to put the archive on it :)

Basically the 3 functions you maybe use the most are setPos(x,y), setPalette(palette) and putStr(string), i hope functions' names are clear enough
This object don't use cursors and sync, but it isn't difficult to add that. feel free to ask things by mail or twitter (on the readme.txt file)

I hope it will be useful for you and will save some of your time :)

PS: sorry for my English, i'm french ;)
PPS: Hello world, I'm new here, so sorry if i made something wrong ;)

    Welcome to the forum and the fandom. Glad to see another Propellian.

    May I ask what brought you to the prop? What are you trying to do? Do you have an interesting project we can help with? :-D

    Thanks :)

    Well, i think a compulsive "i want that" when shopping in adafruit and the BSODomizer where i learned about the propeller :) (and wikipedia when i don't know, si i saw what's that) ended that i got one :D

    For now i like to play around with some dev-boards, like arduino, basic stamp, propeller, raspi.... but i think about things i can do with the propeller :)
