Hi,
I need to convert a Str255 to an NSString. I am using voice
recognition. All is well, except for the Str255. How do I do it? What
exactly is a Str255? I mean, I thought I knew everything :) Thanks in
advance...

Str255 is a type definition, and is actually an array of 256 UTF-8 characters:

typedef unsigned char Str255[256];

I would think that all Str255 would be in MacRoman, or whatever encoding the system uses, since that would keep backwards compatibility with previous OSs.

Str255 pascalString;
mystring = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithBytes:pascalString + 1 length:*pascalString] encoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding] autorelease];
