x86 Assembly: itoa Procedure

Use MASM for Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 to compile this procedure.

Use the itoa_asm procedure to convert an integer to a C-string. To convert a C-string to an integer, use atoi_asm (ASCII to int).

Use the uitoa_asm procedure to convert an unsigned integer to a C-string. To convert a C-string to a positive number, use atoui_asm (ASCII to uint).
