	Does anyone have code that converts an FFP number to an ASCII string
like sprintf(buf,"%f",var); without requiring a 71 byte buffer to expand the
number in?  I want to do this without including all of the Lattice libraries
and Amiga.lib.  I will be implementing this in assembly (although I will
accept C code) and don't need any excess fluff.  I have found that lc.lib
does not support "%f" conversion, lcffp.lib requires lc.lib and amiga.lib,
and fpa in amiga.lib always returns E notation.
