And that worked, but suddenly (after a compiler upgrade, did that
matter? I'd also changed the program, though in ways that shouldn't
have affected this.) it stopped working with the message:

you can cast too (void*)
Thanks. That syntax looks like it would work, but gee! The syntax
is getting worse and worse.
OTOH, I notice that you're using a file name rather than a File.
Perhaps that's my problem,
I've missed the first part of the topic, you can probably do it also
with a file. The point of the answer is just to show the cast.
but if so how do I specify that I want a binary read/write rather
than a text one. (I notice that you named the file "a.txt", and I
explicitly do not want to do a text conversion.
It's a binary file, the extension is meaningless.
Well, the extension is always meaningless except as a mnemonic. But it
appears that read/write aren't intended for use with fixed block files,
so rawRead/rawWrite would be the better choice.
