In ETH Oberon for Windows (Oberon-2) there exists a module Strings with
procedures:

	PROCEDURE StrToInt*(VAR str: ARRAY OF CHAR; VAR val: LONGINT);

	PROCEDURE IntToStr*(val: LONGINT; VAR str: ARRAY OF CHAR);

In Astrobe (Oberon-07) we have the same functions (with INTEGER instead of
LONGINT) but separated them out from Strings into a module called Convert to
prevent Strings from getting too large.
