Wait a minute - there are two void concepts: 1) routines that don't return
anything, 2) pointers to things of indeterminate nature.

In you expample, it looks like you are dealing with a long, rather than
a pointer - try (yeech)     = (VOID *) bar;  or why not simply declare
bar() as   VOID *bar();  if this is the only way you are using it?

Me, I'm just a hardware guy this incarnation...
