Pretty sure I remember that HC did convert NULL to empty string. Not sure about low level file operations though. I don’t think they had a binary read but I may be mistaken.

Trivia question for Jacque or other HyperCard fans who might now:  did reading in HyperTalk also strip NULL bytes, or convert NULLs to spaces?  LiveCode doesn't, but I had thought I'd heard that HC did.
