I'm not arguing that it is "correct", or good form, not to
include the include, just that the `It won't work.' statements
that were made are false with respect to that version of cc on
this platform.
IIRC what the original poster asked for, Greg's reply was the
definitive answer. Sure, the implementation has changed in the
past twenty years but I believe the original request was for the
`first' or `original' C program. Apparently gcc 2.7.2.1 is
backward compatible enough with K&R first edition not to need an
include to use printf.
