Thanks, Stephane, for the acknowledgement. Peter, as I understand, the 
limits in COM BSTR data type are defined by the header's length prefix 
(which is 4 bytes) and software implementatios - for instance, string 
data type in Visual Basic for Applications is described as "a 
variable-length string can contain up to approximately 2 billion (2^31) 
characters", which is in line with the BSTR header. I'm not sure if the 
OS architecture (32 and 64 bit) influences these values.

Best wishes,
Tomaz
