Yup...using the pointer prototype (rather than large character variables)
and I think I'm closer than I was. :)

It really doesn't matter what you pass - you are actually passing a
pointer - declare your prototype nicely and you'll be fine.

It really is *hex*. As soon as I clicked send, I realized I put the wrong

Just realized that the approaches suggested so far will not work if
the string Michael has _is_ a hex string in character form. His
subject line said "binary" so I took him at his word but all his
references are to hex so if that really is the case ...

What he may need is the cvthc/cvtch APIs - see

for examples.
