I don't quite understand what you mean.  This is as much as I know....
That some how i have to get char * into a unicode string
and then use SysAllocString on the unicode string to convert it to a BSTR.  I'm in a win32 environ and the string will be for passing to COM objects.

What I am looking for is a safe way to do that without causing memory allocation problems, leaks GPFs ect.

Thanks.
