Improving the method discussed earlier:
taking X=byte and converting to BCD digits H,T,U

in pseudoBasic!!

 H=0
 T=0
 U=X
 if U>=200 then H=H+2: U=U-200: Goto Check40 'NUMBER WILL BE <=55
 if U>=100 then H=H+1: U=U-100
 if U>=80 then T=T+8: U=U-80: Goto Check10 'NUMBER WILL BE <=19
Check40:
 if U>=40 then T=T+4: U=U-40
 if U>=20 then T=T+2: U=U-20
Check10:
 if U>=10 then T=T+1: U=U-10

should take 24 to 48 instructions on a pic depending on X
