Subject: Print Numbers Vertically

Hello,
   I am trying to figure out how I can print an array of numbers
vertically. For example

a = [  1, 24, 546, 1000, 32, 256 ]

output (spaces optional) :

1 2 5 1 3 2
   4 4 0 2 5
       6 0    6
          0

   I need this because I've got a string to display horizontally and I
need to display a position number underneath each character column.
   I have been thinking about how to do this but it gets complicated
quickly. So far Im thinking:

- convert to string
- for each digit place ( start with 1's place go to biggest )
   - for each num
          - if has digit
                 -print digit
           - else
                   print space

  Any help would be appreciated.
