That's nice for it. Where do I go crib from?
?

I'll rephrase. Is there anything knocking about which would help with eg: printf (pFile, "Amount %12.3f [%-10.10s]\n",balance,name);
Or do I have to rip the string apart character-by-character, then throw all my variables about in registers, cutting, chopping and padding them into shape, and then dumping them in iddy little bits?
Depends entirely on two things:
1) Whether we want printf-style functionality as part of the core 2) Whether you want to use it
I think the answer to #1 is a big yes. You can answer #2 as you need. :)
