Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. This is what I had in mind:
Stuff:
.db o,o,o,o
.db o,o,o,o
All I would do is store perhaps 12 to (Stuff), 8 to (Stuff+1), etc. The
space would be put aside when the program was written. Nothing would be
tacked on the end during execution. The original string would then be
modified when I exited the program. Is this ok?
