Thanks. I kept plugging at the code. Finally some research turned up 
something
about old porting. Just to see if what I found is correct:
   -Wconversion flag checks also old time matching, a prototype
   char* foo(char* boo, int coo, char doo);
   causes a problem because "char" is an eight bit size instead of 
integer and a
   conversion happens by doo being cast from int to char.
Am I close or good enough?
