No printf isn't a windows function, I was just wondering if there was a way
I could send text messages to stdout.  I got a better idea, if I use
"OutputDebugString" (which is a windows function) will that output debug
messages if I use '--debugmsg +relay'?

I have been trying both compiling with Visual C++ 6.0 and trying to use
winemaker (so far only compiling with VC++ is showing any fruit.)

Yeah, I have come to realize this, I guess my idea of using printf was a
little dumb :(

Thanks for all your suggestions, you've been very helpful,
