We have more: PIO_printf, PIO_eprintf, Parrot_printf, Parrot_eprintf and Parrot_fprintf. The Parrot_ ones are a wrapper around the PIO_s, with added check for extern usage, and that does not need #include io files. The eprintf ones are adequate for diagnostic messages. But note that his usage with a NULL interpreter argument is flawed, only adequate for plain strings. But if you have a parrot string surely you have a parrot interpreter. -- Salu2
