I noticed that there is no sprintf() mentioned for writing to buffers in
phobos.html in the D alpha distribution. Is there a D equivalent (yet)?

Also, I unzipped dmdalpha.zip and moved all the files from \dmd to \dm -- on top of the C++ distribution. PATH includes \dm\bin. dmd.exe can't find "object.d" bla bla bla... am I missing something here? (Sorry I know this is a dumb question... but it'd help a lot if someone could help me resolve this)

printf() is not a D function as well. If I understand it correct,
every D compiler should supply a library of ANSI C functions, so
you always get all the stuff like printf() (and sprintf()). It
might not be in the headers currently, but you can always import
it yourself.

You should tell the compiler where to find Phobos modules. If you compile the samples from the SAMPLES\D folder, the command-line should be:

    dmd -I../../src/phobos filename.d

Or just write a .bat wrapper =)

The outbuffer package serves that purpose.

Use -Ipath to set the path for where to look for imports, such as:

    -I\dm\src\phobos
