New to C++ and Need a little help with a public domain program

[OZ]

Hi,

I am new C++ and need a little help with a public domain program that
is suppose to perform a byte swap. I am receiving the following error
messages during the compile process with Microsoft C++ 2003.

Here are the error messages and source code:


(97) : error C2664: 'fgetpos' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'void
*' to 'fpos_t *'

Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit
cast

(99) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'unsigned
char *'

Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit
cast


Here is the source:

Any information would would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The program is C not C++. Make sure you call the file something.c not
something.cpp and you should be OK.

Since it is C not C++ take any further questions to
