I'm a new user of djgpp.
Yesterday, I wrote a program by djgpp.
I want to print the left 80 char of a string,
and use cprinf like this

#define WIDTH 80

char s[200];
...
gotoxy(1,1);
cprintf("%-*s",WIDTH,s);
...

but, the left of my string s was cut. :-(
The right part of the string was printed in the middle of screen.
I remember, "%-*s" is to say leftjustify the output,
Why?
In Borland C, this is correct.
btw, I use djgpp 2.8.0 and djdev2.01
