Unicode conversion issue.

I have a unicode database and I basically wish to publish out certain
data (via views) from it to a non unicode database. Unfortunately we
can not change the type of either of the databases due to the
applications which hang off of them.

Unicode database details -> (Windows 2K, SQL Server 2K, collation =
Latin1_General_BIN).

Non Unicode database details -> (Windows 2K, SQL Server 2K, collation
= SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS).

The databases are on separate servers. I am populating tables on the
(unicode) database via the views I have created, then replicating them
out to the 2nd (non-unicode) database.

What data conversion issues am I likely to face here? At the moment I
am not doing any explicit data conversion, but am letting SQL Server
deal with this. Is this wise?

Any feed back on this gratefully received!

Thanks.
