Don't know for sure. I believe so, based on earlier information on Ally
list. Example, was passing rebol strings to Windows message box, IIRC. The
example script had no special problem with zero terminators, 'cause Rebol
automatically put them in.

I don't know where Rebol, the camera port and the C program fit in all this.
Is it like:
Camera -> Serial Port -> Rebol Script -> C program/library
?
If so, just pass the string (auto converted to zero terminated C string on
Windows, IIRC) to the C program/library.
