/* led.c: print out number as if on 7 line led display. I.e., write integer
   given on command line like this:  
      _   _       _  
   |  _|  _| |_| |_  
   | |_   _|   |  _| etc.

   We assume the terminal behaves like a classical teletype. So the top
   lines of all digits have to be printed first, then the middle lines of
   all digits, etc.

   By Terry R. McConnell

compile: cc -o led led.c

If you just want to link in the subroutine print_led that does all the
work, compile with -DNO_MAIN, and declare the following in any source file
that uses the call:

extern void print_led(unsigned long x, char *buf);

Bug: you cannot call repeatedly to print more than one number to a line.
That would require curses or some other terminal API that allows moving the
cursor to a previous line.
