   I thought there was a GCC run-time library for this stuff, but
perhaps a better question would have been, 'Where can't a GCC user do a
printf() using "%ll"?'.  Or "%<something>".  The variability of the
"<something>" was what drove the Info-ZIP code to use the annoying (but
portable, given enough #ifdef's) fzofft() function.

   They (we?) are more VMS-friendly, too.  (But you're welcome to visit
http://antinode.org/docs/dec/sw/wget.html and glean what you can.)
