Hello, I have many strings in my sw. The takes a lot of space. The strings are defined as: const char STRING1[] = {"HELLO"}; This puts the 8-bit ASCII codes in lsb of 16bits addresses. The above string takes 6 words(with EOS=0x00 char). I want to condense the strings, so that two ASCII chars will be in one 16bits address. How is this done? What happens for a total of odd number of chars in the string? where is the un-used space?? thanks, boaz |
