I have programmed microcontrolers, mostly MCS51 serie,  but my
next project needs PIC programming. 

My problem is  that I don't know how to send multiple strings over RS232.
I need a subroutine wich  has a poniter to a string as a parameter.

On Intel 8x51 I have code like this:

--------------------------------- cut here ------------------------------------------

test:
        mov     DPTR,#string1
        lcall   send
        mov     DPTR,#string2
        lcall   send
        sjmp    $

send:
                mov     a,count
                movc    a,@a+dptr
                cjne    a,#'$',snd_byte
                mov     count,#00h
                mov     s0buf,#0ah
                jnb     ti,$
                clr     ti
                mov     s0buf,#0dh
                jnb     ti,$
                clr     ti
                ret

snd_byte:
                mov     s0buf,a
                jnb     ti,$
                clr     ti
                inc     count
                sjmp    send

string1:        db      'This is String #1$'
string2:        db      'This is String #2$'

--------------------------------- and here ------------------------------------------

How can I write a similar code on PIC (e.g. 16F84)?
