Synopsis:
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <stdarg.h>
    int vcprintf( const char *format, va_list arg );

Description:
    The vcprintf function writes output directly to the console under
    control of the argument format.  The  putch function is used to output
    characters to the console.  The format string is described under the
    description of the  printf function.  The vcprintf function is
    equivalent to the  cprintf function, with the variable argument list
    replaced with arg, which has been initialized by the  va_start macro.

Returns:
    The vcprintf function returns the number of characters written, or a
    negative value if an output error occurred.  When an error has occurred,
     errno contains a value indicating the type of error that has been
    detected.

        cprintf( "%c[%2.2d;%2.2dH", ESCAPE, row, col );
        va_start( arglist, format );
        vcprintf( format, arglist );
        va_end( arglist );
     }

                _asctime( &time_of_day, buf ) );
