Subject: Solution to last weeks, as an mixin to the Numeric classI wrote this a while ago in Sensetalk and missed you contest.
Here is my ruby translation. Works well, with negative, zero
and positives, all the way up to 10**303....http://al2o3ist.dyndns.org/sandbox/examples/num_to_text/
maybe you can add it to your collection
I'll be working on some more as time allows.
Hopefully you all find this useful.Todd
PS. It also handles British and English/American
units. I was going to do German, but I don't speak it well enough
or have the inclination. Maybe some of the Rubyist in Munich
could work on it.
