Well I have a book that tells me what to do and how to do it... I did everything by the book. I had ten people look at it and tell me there was nothing wrong with my code, yet the compiler still didn't accept it. How does that mean I should read more about ANSI C ?

By the way... I finally got the sprintf function to work! I gave up on Tasking since it was so picky and went with Raisonance instead. After playing with that for awhile with no success, I noticed that the memory model was selected to be "small", so I switched that to "large" and simulated it successfully. I still haven't been able to get it to work under Tasking, and I don't understand why, but at the moment I don't really care either.

I'll find out today if it actually works in hardware instead of just the simulation. Thanks for all the feedback
