Thank you for your answer and I take this opportunity to ask another 
question:

char *Date = "01-01-80";

typedef char * ch;

ch foo;
foo = "01-01-80";  <-- this line

warning: data definition has no type or storage class
warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'foo'-Wimplicit-int
error: conflicting types for 'foo'
warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast

What am I not understanding?
thanks in advance
