Hi there,

I'm using DJGPP (gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release) ) and when I try the
following statement:


printf("\nLength of string = %U\n", (strlen(buffer)) );

I get the error message:

strlen.c:16: warning: unknown conversion type character `U' in format

But reading the INFO file for printf in the standard C library there is this
line:

    'U'
    An unsigned long integer.


Whats going on here?  Am I using the wrong include files or something?

I thought the following output may be useful.

D:\data\c>gcc -print-search-dirs
