Note that the lobotomized dopr_outch() routine at the end of the snprintf.c file makes sure that no funny control characters get printed out. If you have CONFIGURE, add the following lines to the configure.in script- these detect the prescence of the varargs.h or stdarg.h files: AC_CHECK_HEADERS(varargs.h stdarg.h) The snprintf code in the attached files (snprintf.c and snprintf.h.)
