--- Comment #4 from Bruno Jesus <00cpxxx at gmail.com> ---
Importing strings with embedded NULLs is now supported. Exporting it back is
not supported neither in XP nor in Windows 8 (possibly all versions).

Windows regedit will skip any lines that have embedded NULLs during the export
process and also in the screen display. Currently wine will try to show and cut
then and during the export it will also cut them in the first NULL.

IMO the main problem in this bug is fixed, which is about importing the
strings. Windows will refuse to display strings with NULL because it would not
be possible to edit in an easy way. I think we should drop the viewing of lines
containing NULL data too because it's easier.
