A conversion from integer to long form english... I could write that ;-)

I find little conversion functions to be the most interesting type of programming you can spend your time on. You wind up exercising so many areas of programming expertise to make the algorithms short, complete, bug free, and as fast as possible....
Almost makes me want to dig out some of my university text books, they tended to be filled with assignments like this, of course I was writing the answer in Think Lightspeed Pascal... but the concept is certainly the same :)
Ok, now I'm wanting to dig out all my copies of "Inside Macintosh" reference books (I still have 4 or 5 of those big white books in my garage)...
