/* PRINTF.C illustrates output formatting with:
 *      printf
 *
 * The rules for formatting also apply to _cprintf, _snprintf, sprintf,
 * vfprintf, vprintf, _vsnprintf, and vsprintf. For other examples of
 * printf formatting, see EXTDIR.C (sprintf), WPRINTF.C (vprintf),
 * TABLE.C (fprintf), ROTATE.C (printf), and IS.C (_cprintf).
