System name:		perilous
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7M
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?

	I might like to handle strings such as '\n' at runtime in my
	code.

What's wrong:

	The Sun's manual page says printf will do this for me.
	It does not appear to.

What should have happened:

	About half a page of the manual should be ripped out. Or
	modified to indicate it's the compiler that does the work.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	Hmmm, let me think...
