converting numbers to text.....help please!!!!!!!!!!

hello. I desperately, desperately need to get this to work. Here's the deal. I have some numbers which represent people's pay. I need to write code which will translate number into text....just like on the paycheck. If the number says "324" it needs to spell out "three hundred twenty-four". I thought of dividing the number in thousands and hundreds and making associations with denominations, but that seems like a heck of a lot of code for something apparently so minicule. If you can solve this, i'll scream!

1,291

program output:

"one thousand two hundred ninety-one"

THANK YOU!
