Nah I make errors too, just pointing it out. There'll probably be more
unmasked by GCC 2.95 (both C++ and C compilers) but so far my app seems
to be working great.

And I believe it is incorrect C as well, just compilers aren't
necessarily enforcing it. I guess the question is: in ISO C, is a string
literal a const char* (as in ISO C++) or still a char* (which I very
much doubt)?

PS: I bugged it.
