   NAME
	sprintf - format a C-like string into a string buffer.

   SYNOPSIS
	sprintf(destination formatstring [,value [, values] ] );

   FUNCTION
	Performs string formatting identical to printf, but directs the output
	into a specific destination in memory. This uses the ROM version
	of printf (exec.library/RawDoFmt()), so it is very small.

	Assembly programmers can call this by placing values on the
	stack, followed by a pointer to the formatstring, followed
	by a pointer to the destination string.

   INPUTS
	destination - the address of an area in memory into which the
		      formatted output is to be placed.
	formatstring - pointer to a null terminated string describing the
	               desired output formatting (see printf() for a
		       description of this string).
	value(s) - numeric information to be formatted into the output
		   stream.
