Is there a means to use printf()-like formatting (eg:
http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man1/printf.1.asp ) using class string
and/or iostream constructs so that I need not have to define
fixed-size character buffers (like it appears that I have to do in
printf()...or maybe there's an alternative)?

I am not sure where the question comes from (have you a good book that
talks about formatted output?) but please look at "stream manipulators",
declared in <iomanip> header. All necessary manipulators are there to
make the string stream output function the same as printf-based.
