I'm pretty sure there isn't a really easy way.  I asked about this 
many months ago and I think the best response I got was loading the 
array from a resource file.  I can't recall the exact method but it 
wasn't hard.

I also wish that FB supported the C syntax.  I know that the C syntax 
is supported in Visual Basic and likely RealBasic.

I really wish it now that I'm looking at some Blowfish encryption 
code.  One array is filled by over 1000 unsigned long hex numbers.

Looking at it I have to wonder if just taking the code and making a 
shared library out of it would be simpler.
