MS VC++ 6.0 takes string literals as char*, and therefore, has calls the char* constructor instead of the const char* constructor.

You can either do :
CORBA::String_var src =CORBA::string_dup("Hello!  i am gamma.....");

or you can cast the string to get around the problem:

CORBA::String_var src = (const char*)"Hello!  i am gamma.....";
