Ah, thanks. The problem is that implicit void* -> char* conversion is 
not allowed, however char* -> void*  should be perfectly fine.

Perhaps, but it is unncessary and is too intense for my poor brain

Cool - maybe gcc.gnu.org could be set up to use google by default. My 
Java list IMAP folders have 2 years worth of messages in them now so I
