You should only be adding a "(const char *)" to cString objects that you
need converted to strings.

Since ct2->Day() returns an integer, the "(const char *)" conversion is
not the right thing to do here.

Taking one of the lines you quoted in your first message:

> checkerOsd.c: sprintf(line3,"%02d:%02d-%02d:%02d (%s), (P%d) %s: 
%s",ct2->Start()/100,ct2->Start()%100,ct2->Stop()/100,ct2->Stop()%100,ct2->PrintDay(ct2->Day()),ct2->Priority(),ch2->Name(),ct2->File());

Only the 5th, 7th and 8th parameters passed of sprintf are expected as
strings (%s), the others should be left alone as integers (%d).

So the line should probably be fixed as:

sprintf(line3, "%02d:%02d-%02d:%02d (%s), (P%d) %s: %s",
ct2->Start()/100, ct2->Start()%100, ct2->Stop()/100, ct2->Stop()%100,
(const char *)ct2->PrintDay(ct2->Day()), ct2->Priority(), (const char
*)ch2->Name(), (const char *)ct2->File());

I have not tested this, so it's possible I've made a typo in it... ;)

YMMV,
