I convert it to 4 bit chunks as in some example code on the piclist

I.e. 12d = 000100011 and 20d=00100000

then I do something like this

ANDLW 11110000    ;gets the top 4 bytes
MOVWF temp            ;put result into temp
SWAPF    temp,f         ;moves the four left bytes to the four right bytes
MOVF    temp,w        ;put it back into w
ADDLW '0'                 ;converts to ascii - adds the ascii value for 0 to
the result.
                                    ;w now contains the ascii value for
whatever the number was

Works for me - apologies for any errors above - this was not copied out of
actual code - just used as an example.
