Quick brief: I am using Microsoft Visual C++. Okay, just when I thought I was finally gaining some ground on the differences between C & C++ I find myself hitting a brick wall. Last night as I was coding away happily I thought I would try to include a cool little snippet of source code into this project I''m attempting. So, I make a few adjustments and carry it on over and it doesn''t compile. The reason this confuses me is because when it was in its own Workspace/project it compiled and ran fine. So I started thinking, the usual, maybe I forgot to link a certain lib file or maybe a header. I investigated and that wasn''t the problem. I was stumped and getting desperate. I realized its original files had the extension .c, while the current project I''m working on are .cpp extensions. So, with this I tried two things. First I created another new project with the code snippets, except named the files .cpp instead of .c Sure enough, same errors. I changed them to .c and they compiled like a dream. So my question is, what do I have to do to make this code work with my current code (.cpp) files? Something is just not agreeing at all. I would rather not have to convert all of the snippet code (which is kind of alot, i guess I shouldn''t call it snippet) to C++, or do I not need to do that? Please tell me this is just some stupid thing I overlooked, or something I need to include somewhere to make it all work. -Miraj

What you are experiencing sounds like incompability between C and C++ (.c files are C and .cpp is C++), but I''m no C++ freak, so if you want people to help you with the code, post the errors and explain a little better.

Well, okay most of the errors have the same ring to them. Something to the effect of "ERROR: Cannor convert unsigned char to *char" ...

That isn''t exactly it but those are the type I get, conversion errors. Does anyone know what I might do to get around this? I''ve tried everything, I''m at a loss...
