NAME            ftoa -- floating to ascii conversion



SYNOPSIS        jsr     r5,ftoa; subr



DESCRIPTION     ftoa will convert the floating point number in

                fr0 into ascii in the form



                   [-]ddddd.dd*



                if possible, otherwise in the form



                   [-]d.dddddddde[-]dd*.



                For each character generated by ftoa, the subrou-

                tine subr (supplied by the caller) is called on

                register r5 with the character in r0.



                The number of digits can be changed by changing

                the value of "_ndigits" in ecvt (default is 10.).



                The subroutine subr must not disturb any regis-

                ters.
