Thanks for posting that Ian, but can I point out one potential problem
which has caught me out in the past?  In dmx_rom_p.c, you have very
sensibly added the ASCII char at the end of each line.  The thing to watch
is that some compilers (Keil C was the one that hit me!), the '\' character
at the end of a line can continue a comment started by //, even if there is
trailing whitespace.

The syntax highlighting in my editor (gvim) makes the same assumption.  I'm
not sure what the C++ standards say is the correct behaviour but I presume
it worked for you in Hitech C there are some inconsistencies between
compiler manufacturers!

The result is that all following characters are shifted by one ASCII
character.  It took me quite a while to track down the problem when I
suffered from it (in a similar application!), I corrected it by changing
the end of line comments to proper C /* ... */ ones instead of C++ single
line '//' ones.

Regards,

Nigel
