That is only true in S-PLUS 4.x (not S), and only needed in the GUI
version (splus.exe not sqpe.exe) as the console has not stdout stream
(the same as Rgui.exe).

It would be normal to use stderr for debugging.

An alternative, which I tend to use is,
char msg[1024];
sprintf(msg, ...);
askok(msg);
which puts the contents of the message up in a message dialog box.
The trouble with Rprintf and REprintf is that they depend on the console
running properly and the information written not getting over-written.
