  Syntax:  unsigned atou( const char far *String );
 
  Returns: The decimal value given by <String>, or 0 if the string
           cannot be converted.
 
     The atou function converts the decimal number in <String> to an
     unsigned integer. Leading white space is skipped. No sign is
     allowed.
 
     If a conversion cannot be made, the function returns 0. Otherwise
     it returns the number converted from the longest continuous string
     of digits. Overflow is not detected, and the rules of modulus
     arithmetic apply to the return value if overflow occurs.
