    Simple macro to copy a string from the mainline of code into a byte array of STRING.
    Then you can dribble thru that byte array, pull out whatever you need...

    And if you do a search for 'printstr' (or in my case printstr2), you'll find another macro that is actually set up for either an LCD or the serial port but could be easily modified to drive 8x8 LEDs...which for all practical purposes are just like a graphic LCD as far as showing items.

    Take a look at them. If you've never messed with macro's, this is a perfect place to try them out and get to know them...
    Obviously, you can most likely do this without the macro's and just use lookup tables and such. I think you'll be much happier with the copystring/printstr/tables-in-flash concept.
