Hello Doug,

I ran into a similar need in my simulation a while back and here's the
solution that's working for me:


id myXAndYLabel;
char theX[3];
char theY[3];
myXAndYLabel=[String create:[self getZone] setC: ""];
sprintf(theX,"%d",[anObject getX]);
sprintf(theY,"%d",[anObject getY]);
[myXAndYLabel appendC: theX];
[myXAndYLabel appendC: theY];


(look into the code for UName within simtools source, I found that very
helpful)
