I'm using gcc. Thanks for the info, I managed to get rid of all of those
warnings, along with all but one of the warnings that the fixes caused, so
that's one lesson I won't be forgetting anytime soon ;) Now to figure out
how to kill this warning and fix the unlim bit stuff...

Unfortunatly, I'm not as familiar with it as I'd like to be (yet). I tried
installing it on my current base, but that base has so many problems from
so many coders working on it over the years, that nothing works the
way it should, so I finally gave up and decided to start from the
beginning and clean everything up in the process.
