Nick;
Thanks for the info, the deal is I don't have access to the source for
'initSomeSystem'.
So I can't answer your question, other than to point out what does
work..
I do know that ' #define kVersion "abc" ' creates a suitable string.
I'm trying to do the 'best' substitution I can with the fact that I
have an NSString and no access to the called method.
Hence my original question as the result of a #define x "123" being a
'char*'.
If that is true, then is the following the best solution?
#define kVERSION "abc"
NSString * partNumber = [[blah blah] moreBlah];
.....
const char * cPartNumber = [partNumber
cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
if( (p_flag = initSomeSystem (
kVERSION,
(char *) cPartNumber,
&errorCode))
== NULL) { ....
Thanks,
Steve

Is this correct?
Is there a better way?
It depends. Does the code take a real C string (char array), or does
it take an Str63 or Str255 or something? If the latter, then you
need to use CoreFoundation to get a Pascal string from the NSString.
