    gettime from C to C++ ??

    How do I write the in C++, it's should be called from a program a made i C++Builder, but I can't call it when it is written in C.
    It comes up with a error:
    canot convert 'void *' to 'char *'

    I need to call a time function, which gets the time from the system.

    ---------------------code clip

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <alloc.h>
    #include <dos.h>

    char* GetTheTime(void);
    int freeAllocated(void);

    char* GetTheTime()
    {
    char *Time = malloc(sizeof(char)*256);
    struct time t;
    gettime(&t);
    sprintf(Time,"The current time is: %2d:%02d:%02d\n", t.ti_hour, t.ti_min, t.ti_sec);
    return Time;
    }

    int freeAllocated()
    {
    char* CurrentTime;
    CurrentTime = GetTheTime();
    free(CurrentTime);
    return 0;
    }


    int main()
    {
    printf("HER er klokken \n\n");

    puts(GetTheTime());
    getch();
    printf("\n Saa free'er vi\n");
    freeAllocated();

    getch();
    return 0;
    }
    !G!

    I thought it was 2 seperated forums....
    sorry... I just needed to ask how it would seem in C++ instead of C.
