    // Put a string in the buffer
    int iCharCount = swprintf(waBuffer, kuiMaxBuffer,
        L"%s", L"XoaX.net");
    wprintf(L"%d characters were stored.\n", iCharCount);
    wprintf(L"The buffer holds: %s.\n", waBuffer);

    // Try to put too many characters in the buffer
    iCharCount = swprintf(waBuffer, kuiMaxBuffer,
        L"%s video tutorials", L"XoaX.net");
    wprintf(L"%d characters were stored.\n", iCharCount);
    wprintf(L"The buffer holds: %s.\n", waBuffer);
