hmmm ...

the THINK C 4.0 manual gives the prototype as:
char *CtoPstr(char *s);

assuming you've declared:
Str255 temp;

try:

(void) CtoPstr((char *) temp);

btw, the prototypes are in the various header files somewhere in your
development tree.  in particular, CtoPstr should be in
Mac #includes:pascal.h.  there's a neat trick that'll let you jump
to any included file from your Think C project: option-click in the
title bar to get a menu of included files.  this also works on a file
by file basis (i.e. option click on the title bar of the source file
window).  ummmm, this is all in the manual.

hope this helps ...
