[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Converting Num to String: always use the ToolBox for intl reasons?

gft_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (04/13/90)

I needed to convert some dates and times to strings.  The ToolBox provides a
very nice function for this, IUTimeString, but I thought I'd just see if I
could write a NumToString routine in Pascal.  I did, and it works fine, but I
really shouldn't use this in my app, since it depends on the ASCII values of
'0' to '9', right?  One should always rely on the built-in toolbox routines for
NumToString, since they take into account the intl aspects?
