.\parameters.cpp(13) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert
from 'void *' to 'char *'
Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an
explicit cast

Also it swaps you in warnings like
.\parameters.cpp(38) : warning C4996: 'strcpy' was declared deprecated


These are C++ errors, generated because you're letting the GUI name
your files for you and by default it calls them .cpp.
Go to Folder Options in Explorer, and tell it NOT to hide extensions
on files, this is anyway just a security flaw as it lets virus writers
drop files on your computer and hide the fact they're executables.
