You perfectly know that it will work. In C you only have to use %N.

All other stuff discussed here is because VE is a native code compiler
that treats a %N as just a %N. And BM hasn't specified it. All other
compilers use ANSI C, so a %N works just very, very fine.

So guys, let me repeat:

1. use eposix and use %N. works with all compilers, including
   VE. using eposix has its disadvantages of course as that compiler
   to JVM, if you ever want to do that, is not possible.

2. Or use the new portable Gobo routines. Eric has done some fine work
   here, but the disadvantage is that %N will not work.
