Hello,

I'm hoping there is a Hi-Tech C / C guru here that can give me a hand.  What
I have is the following struct:

struct PACKET  // structure to hold incomming packets
{
     BYTE packetLen;
     BYTE msgType;
     BYTE msgContents[MAX_CONTENTS_SIZE];
     BYTE checksum;
} gPacket={0, 0, {0}, 0};

Now, what I would like to do is print off each byte in this struct without
having to access them using the "." operator.

I can obviously do this:
    SCI_PrintByte(gPacket.packetLen);
    SCI_PrintByte(gPacket.msgType);
    ...
    ...

But, what I am hoping for is something like:
    for(i = 0; i < 6; i++)
        SCI_PrintByte(*(&gPacket+i));    // this does not work! -> is there
something that will?


&gPacket should give me the address of the gPacket structure and the "*"
operator should then given me the value at that address.  I receive a
compiler error indicating I am going an "illegal conversion".  Anyone?
Thanks.

Regards,
Donovan Parks
