Doh! It just occurred to me that your 4 digit BCD number is probably
"packed" into 16 bits (4 x 4 bit digits).

In that case this should work:

SendByte(((number >>   0) & 0x000f) + '0');
SendByte('0');
SendByte(((number >>   4) & 0x000f) + '0');
SendByte(((number >>   8) & 0x000f) + '0');
SendByte(((number >> 12) & 0x000f) + '0');

The shift right by 0 places for the first digit is obviously
redundant, as is the AND by 0x000f for the 4th digit, but I like to
keep things looking consistent so it's easier to see what it is
intended.

This should optimise quite nicely in Hi-Tech C, perhaps you can get
away without some of the extra brackets too.
