Philip,

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want... But several months ago
I posted some code that allowed strings to be looked up in a table. Matthew
Rowe copied it into his "Virtual Notebook" (see the write_string function):

You will still need to supply the LCD infra-structure software. That should
be no problem since you see a new version every month or so...


Matthew has some other PIC stuff at

(Hey Matthew, are you still out there?)
