   You are quite right.  Functions that deal with the 'streams' interface
cannot be used with the Dos library.  Use sprintf to a buffer, and
Write the buffer.

    Have you got the Rom Kernal Manuals (RKMs) ?   No Amiga programmer
should be without these.   In addition you will need the AmigaDos book
from Bantam, even though it is a little out of date.  All these books
are only available in English, but given the good English in your
posting I would guess that this will not be a problem.
