The strings were stored as a count byte followed by that number of characters. That may well be a 'Pascal string' but TRIPOS was written in BCPL, and that certainly uses that as a string format. The file system is quite interesting, with some metadata within each file block (which was to increase resilience, but in some situations could be a pain). I know this because I have been digging deep into TRIPOS, and have recently written a program to create and populate a TRIPOS disk image. -- Using UNIX since v6 (1975)...
