I have this code, which works in 6.02, but doesn't work after

Global.i *buf
 ReadFile (0, "C:\txt.txt")
*buf = AllocateMemory (Lof (0))
ReadData (0, *buf, Lof(0))
CloseFile (0)

After 6.02 it reports an error that Native types can't be used with pointers.

What should I change to get this working in later versions?

Global *buf
 ReadFile (0, "C:\txt.txt")
*buf = AllocateMemory (Lof (0))
ReadData (0, *buf, Lof(0))
CloseFile (0)

Simply remove the ".i" since pointers already automatically have the correct variable type.

Thanks.
