DJGPP uses buffered output, because it is very slow to do i/o in a virtual
memory system. This means that the stdout buffer is not output to the screen
until you force it. This includes a \n, so using printf("\n%d\n",test);
should work. Otherwise you could use fflush(NULL); which would make printf
work as expected.
