I don't have CW Lite, so I can't verify this myself, but it sounds like
UInt8 somehow didn't get defined in the CW Lite headers. You can define it
yourself with:
typedef unsigned char UInt8
The error message, "can't convert X to Y" means the compiler was expecting
type Y when it encountered type X. So, you can see that your compiler
expects the percentP to be a pointer to an unsigned char, which is a pointer
to a UInt8 if it has been properly defined.
