NULL terminated lists/array are quite common, but NULL is a pointer and the string is terminated by a 0 char (sometimes spelled as \0 in a string literal, but implicitly added by the compiler at the end of a literal, and spelled as NUL in the ascii table). > I prefer to keep "null-terminated" here. I think it is a bug. When talking about it I prefer "zero terminated", or C-string, in contrast to C++ std::string (which are objects) or Pascal strings (which have an explicit length at the beginning). Martin
