Thread: Help with some older code!

Hello everyone!

I am working on a project to increase a file size and some dos window size parameters and need assistance (also I am very rusty at coding so please be patient!)

I am using Turbo C++ to compile as that is what the original code was written in. When I go to compile, I am getting some errors. Mostly being in regards to "Declaration is not allowed here"

Here is the code it is referencing:

/* edit jobdata */


int edit_rbt(bndrdata,jheadr,jdata)
char *bndrdata,*jheadr,*jdata;
{
char ch;
char fname[100];4
char jbname[100];
char bndrname[100];
char fname_buf[100];
char fnameext[100];
char *msg;
int i;



Please let me know what other information you need!

Thanks!!!

Also here is the actual page I am working with

getting rid of that fixed it!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting another issue

This is the error: Suspicious Pointer Conversion

Code:

&xyzbuf[0][0],&edatabuf[0][0],&bpno);

Peephole pictures of your code just doesn't cut it.

TurboC++ is obsolete (has been since about 1990).

What would be the best way here to add all the code...sorry about the peep hole :/

The project I am working on is old AF also. If you have a recommendation on a newer compiler that would work with my includes

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

I would be happy to use it

Thanks for the help!

really? no.
