#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

{
  printf("Hello, ");    // Nothing is printed.
  printf("world");      // Still nothing...

This is not a bug. In DJGPP, stdio is line-buffered, so you
have to call 'fflush(stdout)' if you want to see the results of
a 'printf()' call without an '
' immediately.

See the FAQ, paragraph, 9.4, about 'screen i/o':

	info faq running screen

for details.
