  There is another solution to fully use the printf capabilities (well,
almost fully) with very little space: use Exec's function RawDoFmt().

  It's a bit tricky to master but I was able to use %d and %s in a program
merely less than 500 bytes long. See Amiga Programmer's Handbook for
more details.

  I think it's worth it.
