morning all,

The main difference is that moocow's conversion of a message into a string appends a 0 at the end of the created list.
... and even that is optional in the newest (cvs) version of [any2string], e.g. by instantiating as [any2string 0 -1].

The help is in moocow/pdstring-help.pd
in the most recent cvs version, there also ought to be moocow/any2string-help.pd and moocow/string2any-help.pd.

I believe this approach is more limited that using any2string because

basic string functions can be recreated once a symbol is converted to a series of bytes.
this was indeed the original motivation of [pdstring], which is, was, and likely ever will be just an ugly hack. My personal opinion is that Martin's solution is much more elegant, and more promising in the long run. Hopefully, at some point I'll be able to implement [any2string] and [string2any] as simple wrappers around [str], but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet ;-)
