Thanks for the clarification.
But if the entry is of string type, is there something like a string with no
terminating 0? How could regedit produce such a value given a simple string
input dialog window? (Does no \0 make sense for a string?)

In dlls/ntdll/reg.c:NtSetValueKey() I see the following comment:
"win95 does not care about count for REG_SZ and finds out len by itself (js)
NT does definitely care (aj)".
Apparently, win95 would never store a non-\0-terminated string. What I will do
is run FIFA2002 under various winecfg settings of w98/wme/w2k,wxp (which the
application claims to support) and see if results differ -- and if I can get it
to finally work.
