You could use DivHLBy10 5 times and work from the end of the string back,
storing the remainder each time to the output pointer and decrementing that
pointer by 1. Another interesting method, however, is described at this
link:

I think it might be faster. Note that page shows for a byte, but the
algorithm should be able to be extended to a word pretty easily. To change
it, COUNT is originally 16, and you would have TENTHOUSANDS, THOUSANDS,
HUNDREDS, TENS, and ONES slots. These could be stored in OP1, for example.

How would I go about changing a number in a two byte register pair to a 5
byte string?

i.e.  hl=33457
result=
 .db 3,3,4,5,7

any routines or pointers would be helpful =)
