So why would the compiler warn about it? Also there are many instances where you would assign an int to a char. For example, the tolower(), toupper(), etc macros. If you want these sorts of warnings use a lint tool like splint . But better yet is to use data types you require and not just ones you pick willy-nilly. Tom
