sounds interesting but I can't put any eight consecutiove words together
and figure out what they mean

i don't see how you can access that with direct memory writes as I
understand basic the strings are in one place and the array in another...

in C++ you'd need some sort of container class. (overloading of [])

dunno how you'd go with the direct writes etc, but I suppose that could be
designed in if needed,
