In the following lines of nehe''s model tut: byte *pBuffer = new byte[fileSize]; inputFile.read( pBuffer, fileSize ); inputFile.close(); I get an error saying that the read function''s first parameter is a char * type. I tried changing pBuffer to a char * but it gave me a runtime error and crashed. What do I have to do to make it work? -Mark

Have you tried casting pBuffer to a char pointer:

inputFile.read( ( char * )pBuffer, fileSize );

?

Might work, might not...

That''s a pretty big number! That''s not the size of the array you''re trying to create is it? At what point are you getting that error? Compile-time or run-time?
