David,
I remember doing that very same thing some time ago with my 41.  I don't
think I have the program any more.  But, if I remember right, the
quickest and easiest way to go about it was to break the number apart
into hex digits (or 0-15 if a dec number) and do an indirect address
instruction into a lookup table in memory somewhere.  It was fairly easy
and it ran fast.

Hope that helps.  And if you need more info on this, just ask.  I think I
still remember how to rewrite it.
