 ltoa()                  Convert Long to String

 #include   <stdlib.h>                   Required for declarations only

 char       *ltoa(value,string,radix);
 long       value;                       Number to be converted
 char       *string;                     String result
 int        radix;                       Base of 'value'

    ltoa() converts the long 'value' to a null-terminated string stored
    in 'string'.  The base used in converting 'value' is specified by
    'radix', which must be in the range 2 - 36, inclusive.  The first
    character of 'string' is a minus sign (-) if 'value' is negative and
    'radix' is 10.

       Returns:     A pointer to 'string'; no error return.

         Notes:     ltoa() can return up to 33 bytes including the null
                    character at the end; be certain to allocate enough
                    space to hold the returned string.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements convert a long integer to a string and print
    the string.

           #include <stdlib.h>

           int radix = 10;
           char buffer[33];
           char *strptr;

           main()
           {
               strptr = ltoa(64000,buffer,radix);
               printf("The value is: %s\n",strptr);
           }
