Using PIC-C 7.87PL2, I wrote the following code:

#include <pic.h>

const unsigned char Str1 [2][6] = {"Hello", "Bye  "};

void main(void)
{
    int i;

    i = (Str1[2][3] == 'q');
    return;
}

and looking at the listing, I see:

    18  0009                     _Str1
    19  0009  3448                      retlw   (((048h)))
    20  000A  3465                      retlw   (((065h)))
    21  000B  346C                      retlw   (((06Ch)))
    22  000C  346C                      retlw   (((06Ch)))
    23  000D  346F                      retlw   (((06Fh)))
    24  000E  3400                      retlw   0
    25  000F  3442                      retlw   (((042h)))
    26  0010  3479                      retlw   (((079h)))
    27  0011  3465                      retlw   (((065h)))
    28  0012  3420                      retlw   (((020h)))
    29  0013  3420                      retlw   (((020h)))
    30  0014  3400                      retlw   0

The NULLs are being allocated at the end of each string as (0x000E and 0x0014)
as I would expect.
