   You could just use CopyMemory to slap the 4 character string into a 4   
   byte long   
      
   This is not reliable in Far Eastern locales which use Multi Byte   
   Character Sets, but with those areas the bets are off for strings.   
      
   I gather you are doing some sort of encryption.
