Then this sounds like it is time to investigate a C or other high level
language compiler that can do a module for the maths that you can link in,
if you don't want to do the whole program in C.

However there is another trick I have done to make a table. Use Excel. In my
case I wanted to have a table for a 16 bit sine wave, with entries every 2
degrees. Using Excel it took me about a half hour to set up formulae that
would automatically calculate the values, set up a column full of "DT ",
then set up the next two columns to display the hex values as text, using
two columns to split the value into high and low halves, with the formula
putting a comma after the first data column. Once it was all calculated just
highlight the three columns (DT and two data columns) and copy and paste
into your favourite text editor. The other sneaky trick with this is it is
easy to offset the data with constants as you go, in my case I needed to
offset by 32768 because of the way I needed to drive a DAC.

This makes doing tables real easy, and if you wish to rearrange the data
because of a different strategy on your PIC, it takes a very short time to
modify the Excel spreadsheet to regenerate the table.
