Things like this always get solved just *after* a post. I got the idea that I wanted Str255 instead of StringPtr. Magically, it worked. Imagine that.

There should be an uneducated-idiot-proof method in the NSString class. It's Cocoa's fault, somehow!

Okay, I admit that my standard C knowledge is severely lacking here. I've been *meaning* to read the $50 books I bought, really I have. ;-) In the mean time, the following code dies at the indicated line (// DIES HERE) with a SIGSEGV / EXEC_BAD_ACCESS.

NSString * strA = [preferences objectForKey:@"contentsa"];
NSString * strB = [preferences objectForKey:@"contentsb"];
StringPtr strAPtr;
StringPtr strBPtr;

CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strA, strAPtr, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII); // DIES HERE
CFStringGetPascalString((CFStringRef) strB, strBPtr, 256, kCFStringEncodingASCII);

... any takers?
