Re: printf

[Lionel Pinkhard <lionelp@worldonline.co.za>]

Yeah thanks! I was thinking something like that, 'cause I saw it in the
'stdio.h' file, but I wasn't sure. But how do I use the parameters in the
function? I mean, they won't have names or anything. Or should I do it
like with Assembly functions or something? Please help me out here.
