Thanks for the responses regarding the stdarg facility. I have another
question concerning run time facilities. The subject essentially says
it.

I am not actually comtemplating using this construct. A coworker is
enrolled in a course where the instructor has advised flushing stdin
(yes, stdin) in conjunction with using scanf() to "flush the unwanted
newline." This seemed rather odd to me, but hey, what do I know?
So what sayeth the gospel on the subject?

In terms of implemenations, SunOS seems unhappy with this, HP seems to
like it, and rumor has it, Borland on a PC is fine with it. (have not
confirmed this as yet)

The reason I'm interested is that someone teaching a course is
advocating this usage, and IFF they are incorrect I'd like to set the
record straight before legions of C-programmers adopt this method.

Regards,
