Special thanks to J. Apple Muncy [kb9mnx@fourway.net] I was able to =
reduce
my original code from 60 lines to 3 lines.  (Oh, my original code was
pathetic, wasn't it?)

This new and improved template function will convert any number of any =
kind
(signed, unsigned, int, double, short, long, float, etc.) to its string
equivalent.

For example:

int myInt =3D 923746;

becomes

string myString("923746");

This isn't exactly how it works but I wrote that little bit just to =
complete
your mental picture.
