Hmmm... I'm getting these warnings, just as Sean is... even after a fresh
checkout. They're just warning messages, so the app still compiles and
runs.  So I took a look at them...

Line 209 of session.c is:

  tn5250_stream_send_packet(This->stream, 4, header, &errorcode);

and looking to see what errorcode is, you'll see that its an unsigned
long.  telnet_stream_send_packet(), accepts a pointer to unsigned char
instead of unsigned long -- so the "incorrect pointer type" message
does make sense.

Likewise, around line 373 of utility.c, you'll find:

int tn5250_char_map_printable_p(Tn5250CharMap *map, Tn5250Char data)
{
   switch (data) {
     /*
        Ideographic Shift-In and Shift-Out.
   case 0x0e:
   case 0x0f:
     */
      return 0;
   }
   return 1;
}

Its pretty obvious that the "return 0" in in the switch() group above
can't be reached, since there are no case statements preceding it.

So... the warnings make perfect sense...  ;-)   Though, they don't seem
to be hurting anything.  Its curious that neither Unixware or TurboLinux
wouldnt report these.  Is your copy of the source out of sync w/CVS?
