/*
 * Function:	tostring()
 *
 * Purpose:	to convert an integer to an ascii display string
 *
 * Arguments:	buf	- place to put the 
 *		val	- integer to convert
 *		len	- length of output field (0 if just enough to hold data)
 *		base	- base for number conversion (only works for base <= 16)
 *		fill	- fill char when len > # digits
 *
 * Returns:	length of string
 *
 * Narrative:	IF fill character is non-blank
 *		    Determine base
 *		        If base is HEX
 *		            add "0x" to begining of string
 *		        IF base is OCTAL
 *		            add "0" to begining of string
 *
 *		While value is greater than zero
 *		    use val % base as index into xlation str to get cur char
 *		    divide val by base
 *
 *		Determine fill-in length
 *
 *		Fill in fill chars
 *
 *		Copy in number
 *		
 *
