Markbnj was also saying that it could be unsafe, so what about on other systems, what is the risk of that cast? And how do I find out or where I can look to learn more?

Ok, thank you much.

I believe what I want is to pass the actual value (scalar value)and not the ASCII value (in your example I'd want the 57). Let me clarify a bit on what I'm trying to do, I have a binary file that I want to read into my software, and I want to read in the data from this binary file and pass it...

Wow is that it. That really simplifies things, thanks.

I am reading data from a file and I need to use this data as input to a function api call. The data is read in as a char* pointer, but the function api call takes int* only. So I need to convert the char* pointer to a int* pointer and still make sure the underlying data stays the same so that...

I did call, and I asked the guy who answered whether it would be worth it to file a claim since my deductible was so high. He answered in a way that made me think it might not be worth it, especially since the other driver is uninsured. I asked him directly what he would suggest I do, but of...

In that worst case scenario you talk about, wouldn't I be out $1000 for my deductible, and not just $200 net? The total cost to repair is $1200, my deductible is $1000. Also, the repair guy told me it would take roughly 3 days to fix, so for this period of time I'm either going to have to rent...

Sorry, I'm a bit touchy at the moment, no offense intended to anyone. This is my first accident and also my first time really discussing personal problems on an online forum. Thanks for trying to help Smoochy. Edit: So just to clarify, would it not matter from a legal standpoint if I give...

To SmoochyTX, I drive a 4-door sedan, year is 2003. I took it to a body shop and the initial estimate for repairs was $1,200. This is including replacing the front bumper, front right headlight, front right fog light, license bracket, and the front grill, as well as labor and supplies. They...

So if you win the case, did you still have to pay the lawyer's fees? The lawyers' ads I have looked at say I only pay if we win, but lets say we win and the other party doesn't pay up, then am I out the lawyer's fee as well as my car repair costs?

Why do you ask? Will it help to give an answer, otherwise I'd rather not give out such information.

Would it help to sue anyways to get it on file, or to garnish future wages?

I'm not an evil guy, sorry to disappoint. =) But no way am I gonna just grab my ankles if I have options.

Yes, I was young with my first job out of college when I bought the insurance. My thinking at the time was that the lower monthly payment would balance out my high deductible in the case of an accident, in other words, the money I saved from the monthly balance would more than make up for the...

Crap, I will have to check my coverage on this. That will really suck...
