This has todo with the fact that os/2 buffers stdout.  Nothing will be
displayed until a newline is printed.  You can either put a
fflush(stdout); after each printf (that doesn't include a /n or use
setvbuf(_IONBF) to disable the buffering (for watcom anyway.) setvbuf is
ansi, so your complier would have it, although look it up anyway.
