RE: conversion of char* to UniChar* ??

Try QString::ucs2() or QString::utf8() depending on which Unicode encoding you expect to find in the UniChar string.

I could be wrong, but I believe the MAC native encoding is utf8. Try using the QString::utf8() and QString::fromUtf8() functions.

I have enough sense to know that "common sense" is an oxymoron.
