Hi Kevin,

I found the pointer_to_array function, but I'm having some trouble figuring 
how to call it correctly. I assume it has something to do with the pointer 
being a void pointer. I've been searching for something that might give me 
a clue how to do this, but I haven't found anything very useful so far.

Thanks,
-G
