}the errors are:
line 70 - cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'char[][80]'
line 87 and 92 - cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char[80]' to 'char[][80]'
line 163- cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'char[][22][80]'
i tried searching google and these threads but i didn't find anything. if you guys find a link or something explaining how to fix the errors that would be great too. thanks!
