#106621 - decimal unpacker
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Unpacks a 16bit number into it's decimal base units.

eg var = 12345 // decimal constant

xx[0] = 5..... xx[4] = 1

could you have used the modulus method of coverting from one base to another or a table driven method?

Something like
for (n=5; n=>0; ++n)
remainder[n] = var_number % power(base,n)

n is the number of powers of the base
power function is base to the power of n
*** This is not exacty the code but some idea.

There are a few base conversion programs floating about.

Anyway that's my 2 cents worth
