Does anyone know of a 8088 Machine Language routine that will
convert a multiple-byte array containing a VERY large (64 bit, 8 bytes)
number to ASCII? I know how to write a routine for 16 bit signed
or unsiged binary to ASCII decimal but I can't figure out
how it would be done for numbers larger than 16 bits (which then
must be stored in a multiple byte memory array specified by say
OPERAND1 DB 8 DUP (0)
which would define a 8 byte (64 bit) memory array)

If anyone knows of a routine or the logic behind it, I would
appreciate hearing from you...
Thanks
George
