NO.  The compiler does not treat scanf(), printf(), etc, any
differently from any routine which is defined in another file.  They
are "standard" only in that (almost) all environments which support C
also support these routines.  Pascal, on the other hand, does things
for write(), writeln(), etc, differently from the way it handles calls
to user routines.
