A couple of weeks ago I posted a genealogy program which contained
a module called vsprintf. This function works like sprintf, but
instead of being passed a list of arguments in the function call,
it is passed a pointer to the arguments. This allows a person to
write his own functions which take a list of arguments like printf.
Unfortunately, the implementation of printf is very system-dependent, so
that all the people who were NOT running 4.2bsd were getting gobs of error
messages and not being able to run the program. I am getting ready to
re-post a substantially changed version of geneal, but I am still waiting
for someone to send me vsprintfs that work on other systems. So, does
anyone already have a vsprintf running under other systems (like sys V)
that I can include in my distribution? If so, I would be pleased to
receive them.
