title: printf statements not showing up
body: <p>I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and trying to debug someone else's program. I tried to use printf statements but for some reason, these statements are not shown on the screen as the program runs. I am able to use fprintf to print these statements to file, but this is useless when the program crashes in the middle of execution, as the file would be empty then.</p>
  
  <p>How can I force some output to screen?</p>
