What does this const thing have to do with the function below getting the
suspicious pointer conversion warning?

int pos(const char *str,char c)
{
 char *s;
 
 s = strchr(str,c);
 return s ? (int)(s - str) : -1;
}

This, of course, works if I take out the const thing.  Is this one of the
things that you were complaining about, or should this just plain not work?
(This was done in Turbo C 1.5, by the way.)
