When you wrote :
=================
char caption[20] = button[callsign].caption[20];
=================

You asked to DjGpp to copy a "const ( char * )" into a "const ( char * )".

"caption" is a constant pointer toward a allocated memory space. So you can NOT
make it point on something else ...

So make it (char * ), or use "memcpy" or "strcpy" who copy a string into
another.

good luck ...
