I am trying to load some data from a files, the 6 and 7th bytes are an
Integer and so are the 11th and 12th.  How do I make them into an INT?  This
is what I used earlier

char ver, type;
int sz, tz;

ver = file_buffer[0];
type = file_buffer[1];
.
.
.
sz = file_buffer[6] + file_buffer[7];

is that right?
TIA...
