>const int data[256] = {0x2324,0x2425,0x3233, ..... }; I store big tables in EEPROM whenever possible. Just had a neat application of it. We're doing a TV interface for an MPI Zenith set, and I have all kinds of messages to send to the screen during test mode. Not having enough ROM for it, I stuck them in EEPROM (we have 8Kx8 there). The messages going to the set can now be in any language. We have a "world" compatible box without even trying! Just a thought.
