Nope. VFP converts strings to NULL terminated when calling the API and
to wide character OLE BSTR when calling COM objects. This is not an
issue only if you're dealing with the LCK interface (although I haven't
looked at that in a while - might be that the var structs have been
changed over to follow variant structures by now).
