Programm to create Arrays for a Led Matrix ?

Hi,

im working on a midi step-sequencer with a 8x16 Led matrix display.
Each of the 8 lines is controlled by two linked 8-bit shift registers ( hc164n ).
my code gets the bits from an array, where "0" is led off and "1" means led on, an example - "A"

10 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1

sry for this double post, lost connection while typing
