    If you are trying to compile within Visual Studio then the compile-time
    conversion errors can be alleviated with a "(char * )" in front of the

    I realize it's probably just my lack of skills, but this doesn't seem to
    compile unmodified. I do not know any C / CPP so I can't figure out what
    to
    fix to make it compile if it does indeed need modification.
