byte compression

[skimask]

Thanks for the suggestions, Skimask and SteveB.
I'll try your code, Skimask, and see if it works. Would it save any code space on the PIC (compared to my original code?)

I'm not sure if it'll save any code space, and it does make it a bit harder to read. About the only thing it will save for sure it space on the screen while you're looking at it.

I think I'll stick with time stamps on each event.

There ya go. Sometimes it's a lot easier to stick with something a bit wasteful and make the hardware take up the slack (i.e. a larger eeprom or more of them)...
