sprintf and sscanf CAN be used in a DLL. The message that I was commenting 
on indicated that Microsoft was "stupid" for not allowing printf and scanf
in DLLs. Again, there would be no use for printf and scanf in a DLL so I don't
consider it particularly stupid to make them unavailable. As you say, there
could be all sorts of uses for sprintf and sscanf, but they are not the same 
as printf and scanf.
