[OCLUG-devel] pointer from integer without a cast

[Doug Jolley]

I've been playing around trying to get crypt to work. I have a little test 
program that I'm using which I am appending to this message. When I try to 
compile the test program I get a compiler warning that the assignment makes 
a pointer from an integer without a cast. I actually think I understand the 
thrust of what that message is trying to tell me. The problem is that I 
don't think I'm doing what it's complaining about. My understanding is that 
the crypt function returns a pointer to charactger. If that's the case; 
then, I'm assigning a pointer to a pointer and I don't understand the 
complaint. Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Thanks for any input.
