Allocate sufficient memory to the character pionter.
Use strcpy method to copy all the members(one by one) of the structure
from the node created.
while accessing each of the member typecast them to char or store them
as char in some temperary variable.

Kindly Acknowledge, whether you got what you were looking.

Girish.

Better make that a memcpy(), not all members of the struct need to be zero
terminated strings.
