_print/_doprnt; curses on sys III

[stan at RICE.ARPA]

Toby,

It is standard System III. AT&T finally wised up to how much software
broke when they took _doprnt away, and made it come back in System V.
Not that this helps you any, but.....

Anyway, here's how you work this:

1) the FILE * that you are printing to is not in the arguments to
   _print. Instead, this goes in the external variable "_pfile".

2) the first argument to _print is the format, followed by the various
   arguments

Therefore the "_doprnt(fmt, args, file)" becomes 
"_pfile = file; _print(fmt, args)" No sweat.
