Matt, thanks for the observation about the missing parentheses, but that
was a typoe while posting the question.  My question still stands.
What is wrong with this code,
	Window->RPort->TmpRas =
		InitTmpRas(&tmpras, raster, RASSIZE(maxx, maxy));
The Manx compiler gives an error of illegal type conversion.  As I 
previously said, the InitTmpRas function is declared to be a void
and should not return anything.  So why would someone write this?

The line of code is taken out of Flynn D. Fishman's program
Graph It ][, subprogram three-d.c.  I did not write the code, I am 
only trying to get it to run.

Does anyone have a serious answer? Matt?
Thanks
Bill Murphy
