Crystal is a server that controls CrystalFontz 632 and 634 LCD screens

Crystal is a simple TCP server that uses a plaintext protocol to control
CrystalFontz[1] 632 and 634 series LCD screens (e.g. out 'hello world').
The pre-1 version of Crystal supports many of the functions defined in
Ben Wilson's pyCFontz[2] module, upon which crystal is based, including
most major text entry, cursor movement, backlight control, and
formatting functions. Future versions will allow multiple simultaneous
connections, and implement the full set of control functions. The server
will eventually support advanced functionality like multiple LCD
support, screen region locking by client programs, and display
templates.

Comments, code contributions, and suggestions for further development
are welcomed, and may be emailed to rupe@metro.yak.net.
