    Can anyone supply C source for a version of sprintf
    that runs under Domain/IX (BSD4.2)?  I need to write
    functions like it (for printing error messages and so forth),
    and bsd4.2/ix stdio.h is different from stdio.h for
    both VAX and Sun, in that the _flag field has different values.

It seems to me that it would be a bad idea to depend on the internals of
stdio to get your job done.  I always use vprintf, vfprintf, and vsprintf
to do this sort of thing.
