To string Str(x,st);

To char: ch:=chr(x+48)

In the latter the value has to be 0..9, in the former any can do. You
can also use field specifiers with str() just as you use then with
write().

This assumes the ASCII charater numbering (admittedly a pretty safe
assumption with the Borland dialects); and it's also something of a
"magic number", if one doesn't know what's going on that 48 seems to
come out of nowhere.

Anyways, my generic/cross-platform sensibilities would insist on
something more like:

ch := Chr(x + Ord('0'));

Since Ord() is reconciled at compile time you don't lose any run-time
benefits of using an integer; and this is arguably more
self-documenting.
