Okay here I start:


// defining types variables
struct IndexFileName {
  char FileName[12];
}

int IndexFileName;


// our function
int compare (char *FileName)
{
  return strcmp(Index.FileName, FileName);
}


//main
void main ()
{
  printf("%d\n", compare("TEST.TST"));
  return 0;
}


--------

   The question is, what do I have to put in front of "Index.FileName"
in order to have it become a pointer so I can do a compare?  I'm a bit
mixed up in C :)
