    WAV file problems...

    hey, i got this soure code off of this website, but i got 2 errors that i dont know how to fix. the code is:

    }


    The errors i get are:

    Character constant to long in function LoadVoice
    and
    Type mismatch in parameter '_path' in call to 'fopen(const char near*, const char near*)'in function LoadVoice (WaveData near*,char near*)

    so i have only 2 problems, and i really really need this to be done quick. ill keep working on fixing it, but if anyone has anyone can help me, the more code u can give me the better. Also im using TCLITE if that makes ne diffrence. and its windows 95, just cause its at school.

    Thanks

    the first thing I can think of is did you compile it in the huge memory mode?

    The first thing I can think of, did you read the instructions on posting code?

    add code tags.
    They say that if you play a Windows Install CD backwords, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing; play it forward and it installs Windows.
