Probably just unimplemented; you should convert the Pascal string to a
C string first, or write a category on NSString to do it.

Or, use a CFString instead:

   NSString* str;
   unsigned char* pstring;

   str = [NSString stringWithCString: "Testing "];
   pstring = "\phi there";

   str = [str stringByAppendingFormat:@":%@",
           CFStringCreateWithPascalStringNoCopy(NULL, pstring, kCFStringEncodingMacRoman, NULL)];

   NSLog(str);

after 'cc -framework Foundation -fpascal-strings main.m' produces:
