/*
** COMMAFMT.C
**
** Public domain by Bob Stout
**
** Notes: 1. Use static buffer to eliminate error checks on buffer overflow
** and reduce code size.
** 2. By making the numeric argument a long and prototyping it before
** use, passed numeric arguments will be implicitly cast to longs
** thereby avoiding int overflow.
** 3. Use the thousands grouping and thousands separator from the
** ANSI locale to make this more robust.
