Math on void* pointers is a gcc extension, I'm surprised you don't get warnings on linux - it is worth figuring out how to turn those on.. Sean: For this purpose casting to (char *) is somewhat sketchy, it should be (uint8_t *).. char should only ever be used for strings due to possible troubles with environments using 16 bit chars for wide character support.
