I have an array of structures in ROM. I want a pointer in RAM to point to
that. The C manual that comes with MCC18 is a bit unclear on how to do
this. My array in ROM is defined as:

struct SongChord
  {
	  unsigned char beats;
	  unsigned int chord;
	};

#pragma romdata song1=0xe000

struct SongChord rom const Song1Array[]={
 data goes here }


I'm trying to define a pointer that points to it. Thus far, I define the
pointer like this:

  struct SongChord rom const *SongArray;  // local pointer to a song

I'm trying to initialize the pointer with this:

	      SongArray=&Song1Array;


and getting complaints from the compiler.

My goal is to have SongArray be a pointer in RAM that points to the array
in ROM so I can do something like this:

NumBeats=SongArray[3].beats;


Pointers in C have always been tricky to me. Mixing RAM and ROM makes it
worse!

Thanks for any help!
