   NAME
	VPrintf -- format and print string (buffered) (V36)

   SYNOPSIS
	count = VPrintf(fmt, argv)
	  D0            D1   D2

	LONG VPrintf(STRPTR, LONG *)

	count = Printf(fmt, ...)

	LONG Printf(STRPTR, ...)

   FUNCTION
	Writes the formatted string and values to Output().  This routine is
	assumed to handle all internal buffering so that the formatting string
	and resultant formatted values can be arbitrarily long.  Any secondary
	error code is returned in IoErr().  This routine is buffered.

	Note: RawDoFmt assumes 16 bit ints, so you will usually need 'l's in
	your formats (ex: %ld versus %d).

   INPUTS
	fmt   - exec.library RawDoFmt() style formatting string
	argv  - Pointer to array of formatting values

   RESULT
	count - Number of bytes written or -1 (EOF) for an error

   BUGS
	The prototype for Printf() currently forces you to cast the first
	varargs parameter to LONG due to a deficiency in the program
	that generates fds, prototypes, and amiga.lib stubs.
