I had a look at writing a keyed archiver several months back, and it
did not look *too* bad ... but I was having some trouble figuring out
exactly what the algorithm for generating the property list should
be. Perhaps I can find time to get back to it ... sounds like it
might move up the priority list if someone is willing to do the
donkey-work of updating all the ancoding/decoding methods of the
base/gui objects using it.
Last night I had my first chance to look at a key/value encoded nib
and that did look rather readable. SO if you need somebody to help you
I am ready to take up some tasks.
