I don't really see why this should be a problem (except for the obvious =
typo in the variable name).

Are you sure you used consistent compiler options?  If you link against =
the omniORB DLLs you must configure your project to compile
and link against the multi-threaded DLL version of the MSC run time.

In any case, you should always cast literal strings to "pointer to const =
char" to be on the safe side.  The C++ standard mandates
that string literals are of this type already so the cast wouldn't be =
needed with a standards conforming compiler.

The CORBA C++ mapping made some unfortunate choices regarding pointers =
to non-const char.

HTH,

Bruce
