I guess it depends on what you mean by "work with".  The scheme that
immediatley comes to my mind is to use a combined approach.  There are
probably other ways as well.  What I have in mind is this:

  Have the length byte at the start of the string and a nul byte at the
  end.

  Have conversion functions (or macros) so you can use your Pascal-C
  strings in standard library functions.
