Yes this is a bug, but a very minor one. According to the ANSI definition
in K&R, fread/fwrite's first argument should be a "void *". Lattice/SAS
header files show it as a "char *". You can ignore the warnings,
use (char *)Grades instead of just Grades, or fix the bug yourself by
changing the Lattice/SAS header file to use a "void *" instead of a 
"char *". Since a pointer is a pointer, there is no effective difference
and this should not affect the compiler in any other way.
