I went to run tickadj on my NeXT running OS 3.0 and it complained it  
couldn't find _noprintf.  I searched the kernel and found:

axys100:4# nm /sdmach | grep -i print
040232cc t __printf
04034d58 T _ether_sprintf
0409e7ec D _ipprintfs
04077152 T _np_init_printer
04077ce6 T _np_printing_shutdown
04077d64 T _np_printing_timeout
040786b4 T _np_wait_printer_ready
04023920 T _printf
0404110a T _printfhandle
0402394c t _printn
04023a4e T _sprintf
0409e81c D _tcpprintfs
04023abe T _tprintf
04023c0e T _uprintf

I have two questions:  1, What is _noprintf and what is it used for?  and  
2, What is a suitable substitute from the above variable list?
