Hubert,

The first arg. to fprintf needs to be the unit number returned from
an fopen call, or a string if printing to standard output.  You can
also print to stdout or stderr.

If you are on a unix-like system (including cygwin) you can use sed
to transform your files:

	mkdir trans
	for f in *.m ; do sed -e"s/fprintf =
*[(]'pri*[0-9]',/fprintf(stdout,/g"=20
< $f > trans/$f; done

The files in the directory trans should contain proper fprintf=20
statements.

	- Paul
