Well, getLastResponse() returns (const fxStr&), and so I would think 
that it should be able to convert that to (const char*) without a 
hitch.  You're welcome to try:

char *cp = strchr((const char*) client.getLastResponse(), '(');

... but my guess is that it will do no good.  We're probably dealing 
with another one of those cases where SCO likes to have a more relaxed 
initialization approach, and if that's the case, then this may work:
