Resolving Issue 46 - Clarify null-termination of fixed-length char #68

Closed esilvia closed 5 years ago

esilvia commented 5 years ago

Clarified null-termination throughout spec. Fixed-length char arrays don't have to be null-terminated, but free-form strings do. I think that's always been the case, but the VLR Description claimed to be null-terminated. That tells me that this could potentially break a VLR reader that took the spec at face value. However, no other char arrays said this and it seems like a waste of a character.

@ASPRSorg/lwg Will this break anyone's software?
