hey, go32-v2 printf 4,260 or something kb(I know, we only got 8 megs o
ram.)  and then it printed 131,128 or so kb of swap space.   I don't use
windows 95, in fact I have no windows running when I'm doing my
programs.
I use CWSDPMI ...    i don't know whats up with symify... here's some
code, i tried to isolate it as much as possible:

void get_name(char *name, void (*function)(), int x, int y, char color)
{
        int scancode;
        char ch;
        int done = FALSE;
        int index = 0;

        clear_keybuf();             /* don't want extra stuff :-) */
        while(!done)        /* terminate input with <return> */
        {
                scancode = readkey();
                if( ((scancode >> 8) == KEY_BACKSPACE) && index>0)
                        name[--index] = ' ';   /* are we trying to
erase? */

                else if( (scancode >> 8) == KEY_ENTER)
                        done = 1;             /* are we done? */

                else                     /* if not then...*/
                {
                ch = (char)(scancode & 0xff); /* convert scancode to
ASCII */
                name[index++] = ch;
                }

        function();          /* call our received function */
        textout(page.active_page, font, name, x, y, color);  /* print
text */
        page_change();       /* do the mode-x stuff */
}
