Repeatedly dividing by 10, extracting each place as it spits out, is a good
way to do this but consumes incredible # of machine cycles. If you have to
generate lots of these, you can easily overrun your time budget.

I use a compromise routine that (for an 8-bit value) subtracts off the100s
place character, then uses a lookup table to extract a packed BCD char, to
compose the last two characters. This is extremely fast- about 30
instruction cycles to extract and compose all three ASCII characters.
