Just the opposite, actually. C strings are null-terminated, while Pascal strings have the length at the beginning. Pascal used to use a single byte, which limited strings to 256 characters. I abandoned Pascal for C in 1990, so I haven't kept up, but I would guess modern Pascal allows a longer string.
