%
%% I4_TO_S_ZERO converts an I4 to a string, with zero padding.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    An I4 is an integer.
%
%  Example:
%
%    Assume that S is 6 characters long:
%
%    INTVAL  S
%
%         1  000001
%        -1  -00001
%         0  000000
%      1952  001952
%    123456  123456

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer INTVAL, an integer to be converted.
%
%    Input, integer S_LEN, the length of the string to be used.
%
%    Output, string S, the representation of the integer.
%    The integer will be right justified, and zero padded.
%    If there is not enough space, the string will be filled with stars.
