[comp.sys.cbm] printf

jgbritt@dasys1.UUCP (James G Britt) (12/27/89)

  Not to long ago someone asked why the printf() function in his C compilier
took so long (as long as a BASIC command.)  The reason may be that printf() is
a large function.  It allows for output of all data types and control characters
all mixed together.  This requires some sizable code overhead, which is called
regardless of how much is udsed.
You might try using putc() or puts().
If you have the Abacus Super-C 64disk,
it has sample USR files using these calls.
