If you need to pass an > internal string outside, it's an easy conversion. True enough on both counts. This seems to be a dividing line to some extent between the 'hosted' Forths and the native ones. Those of us who work 'hosted', rely on the underlying OS for services ... and the API calls, pretty much without exception, require NUL terminated strings. A native Forth doesn't need them at all for any reason. The reason I eliminated the "zt" word (zero-terminate) from Reva in practice was that it was annoying to have to intersperse it all the time when calling an external library, and even more annoying when forgotten!
