Number names
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Show how to spell out a number in English. You can use a preexisting implementation or roll your own, but you should support inputs up to at least one million (or the maximum value of your language's default bounded integer type, if that's less). Support for inputs other than positive integers (like zero, negative integers, and floating-point numbers) is optional.

REXX
As I understand the task parameters, it was OK to used a pre-existing program to solve this
task. I had first considered taking the original program and ripping out all the good stuff
and just solve the primary task (and optional requirements), but it was taking too much time
so I left the program intact, negated the use of the $T program (which essentially is a TYPE
command that can show text in colors, does vertical and horizontal [indentation] tabbing,
boxing, centering/justification, and writing the output to a file, waits on confirmation,
block letters, splitting of message text [multiple lines], highlighting of text portions
[in colors], among other things).
Also not included is the $H program which shows (among other things) the help
(documentation), and the $ERR program which issues error messages (in red). I assume that
most people could figure out what the error message(s) would say by observing the context.
This REXX program supports:
* long & short scale (American and English styles)
* ordinal numbers and cardinal numbers
* expressing the number as a YEAR (1975 would be nineteen seventy-five)
* decimal points (6 is different than 6.)
* decimal fractions
* numbers with leading zeroes (as well as trailing zeroes)
* leading signs (+ or -)
* exponential notation
* currency symbols
* adding commas (or whatever) to the output (including blanks)
* numbers (American) up to 302 digits, (English) up to 602 digits
* numbers with suffixes such as K, M, Gi, etc, and also some common ones as well as factorials
* user-defineable names for: signs, decimal point, power, curreny symbols, zero (digit), etc.
The program has a pretty hefty prologue which determines (among other things):
* the operating system (and maybe the type)
* the name of the REXX program: it's filename, filetype, filemode (or path, if you will)
* the access-name to acquire environmental variables
* if EBCDIC or ASCII system
* which REXX (or KEXX) is being used
* the name of the program (command) to clear the terminal screen
* if appropriate, invokes $H to show the help/logic flow/sample uses/or program author
If there are strong feelings that the code should be removed because of it's length, I'll remove it.

If one were to use variants further and get them to play nice as Decimal, this could theoretically be extended up to the octillion range.

This solution works for integers up to 1000. It should be fairly ovbious how it works, and so can be extended if needed.
