    I would not suggest using void* either, however. If you need a function that takes a generic type, you should look into templates.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

    Unless size is a consideration or your platform doesn't support them...

    Or your building an API (no templates for APIs). Threading is another place where void*'s are pretty much unavoidable.
