On that exact source?  The only explanation I can
come up with is that someone has hacked into stdio
and changed printf into a macro that calls something
called clrscr.  But the obvious mnemonic would imply
a function to clear the screen, and what's the point
of printing something only to erase it?

You might try re-installing stdio from the original
compiler distribution media.
