But sprintf is not compatible with StrPrintF as Palm has written it. Even
if the header redefines sprintf as StrPrintF, StrPrintF cannot handle the
same format specifiers as sprintf. Giving the suggestion that sprintf is
supported in the Palm OS will also give the impression that the function is
complete and possibly cause problems later when they try something like
formatting a floating point variable.
Why confuse people? If we are going to give advice to other programmers,
lets give them what will work for all situations. And not give advice that
will work in *most* cases.
