Comments:

• Thank's a lot for such an useful site ! I got several routines there and all of them work perfectly well, saving hours of brain storming for me with probably not such so good results... Denis, from France+
• You are VERY welcome! Please do consider shareing any code you do end up writing

Questions:

• brianszczepanikspam at yahoo.ca asks: " im looking for a way to convert an eight digit decimal number to two 16 bit words using only 16 bit architecture" +
• szarolettaspam at hotmail.com asks: " I am looking for relocatable code, or a macro which converts a hex number like FE8A into the corresponding ASCII-Code."

  Convert the Hex digits to binary (16bits) and then convert the binary to ASCII.

  Apply one of the "2 digit Hex to Binary 8 bits" routines to the first two hex digits and then again to the second, thereby producing two 8 bit values that are then passed to any one of the "16bit to ASCII Decimal 5 digits" routines. +
