I am using djgpp v2 while trying to learn C.

While doing this, I needed to print out an int variable. I used
printf("%d\n", intvariable), remembering to #include <stdio.h>,
but I got the warning "Wrong format specifier...", so I looked
up the Info.

The Info-file on libc.a told me to use "%D" as format specifier
for a long int variable (since ints are equal to long ints in
djgpp).

I did so, and got the error message "Unknown format specifier...".

So, what is the _correct_ format specifier to use in printf() for a
long int, and are there more errors (_known_ errors, that is) in the
documentation ?
