   cprintf() treats the character '\n' as a linefeed only -- it omits
the carriage return. I would say that this was some sort of bizarre
feature :-) except that in TC 1.5 '\n' was treated as a normal CR/LF
combination. Took me a while to track the problem down when I ported a
program from 1.5 to 2.0. 
   Since I ended up having to use gotoxy(), generating a lot more code
and slowing down the program, and since this is a marked departure from
standard practice *and* their own previous practice, I'm going to call
this one a bug.
   Unless somebody can give me a good reason why they did this.

   As for other bugs, didn't somebody report an odd bug in the stat()
function a few days ago?
