i installed gcc 2.2.2 on my system, but have been having minor 
difficulties in getting a very simple portion of my very simple 
program to work.

point of the program: prompt user for a filename, open file and read 
in a bunch of ints, bubble sort them, and print the results to the 
screen.

but... (code snippet follows)

main()
{
        int num[100], count, test;
        char datafile[15];
        FILE *infilep;

        printf("\n%s","Please enter the name of the data file:\n");
        scanf("%s",datafile);
..

NOTHING i do will get the finished product to actually print the 
prompt string BEFORE i enter the file name.  prompts are pretty 
useless if they're not displayed.

as i said, the program works fine functionally, i just don't see the 
"Please enter..." prompt until after i enter the filename.  btw, i 
compiled the same program w/ gcc under unix (on a sun 4) and it works 
properly.  hence i find fault, somehow, with the os2 port.

question: am i sane?  i consider the fact that it works w/o adjustment 
on another machine pretty solid proof but maybe i'm overlooking 
something.
