Hello all,

I'm sorry for posting this seemingly-newbie-ish question here, but I can't
really find any documentation on what I'm looking for, and what I do find hasn't
worked so far.

Ok, I'm printing variables to a file.  The code looks like:

...
cotnum(a, outfile);
fprintf(outfile, "^%d + ", x);
...

Here, cotnum is from a library I'm using which prints a number followed by a
new-line character.  Unfortunately, I want the following string in the fprintf
to be on the same line as the number that was just printed.  So, my question is,
how do I print the "backspace character" (ie, '\0x8')?  I've already tried
putting '\0x8' in place of the string, but the djgpp compiler complained about
that, so, I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can backspace over that
already provided '\n' (new-line character)?  Any help you can give will be
greatly appreciated.  Have a nice day!  :)

-David C.
