Hi Randy,

I think you'll find that code is years old and these days I tend to call....

_itoa(num, buf, 16)

which is just a little simpler or I would code it in Asm to make it extremely fast.

Also these days, I don't use strings so that tells you how old that code is. My coding has
improved a lot in a few years. Also
DecVal is not needed, something else I would not do these days so if you want to compare
your code with mine publicly, do it
with something recent!
