NSString encoding for Str255, etc.?

Hi,

I'm writing a Cocoa class that interfaces with the Carbon resource
manager. Can anyone tell me, or point me to the right docs, what
NSString encoding to use for types like Str255 and ResType?
Currently I am basically doing this (in a NSString category):

- initWithStr255:(Str255)str
{
   return [self initWithData:[NSData dataWithBytes:&(str[1])
length:str[0]] encoding:NSMacOSRomanEncoding];
}

I picked NSMacOSRoman because it seemed a good guess. :)

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with
encodings at all.

Thanks, Parmadil
