Syntax and use of ObjectLoader i/o files

[William S. Shu]

1) Could someone tell me briefly explain the syntax for ObjectLoader (and
similar input) files, or where to get the info.  (Allusions had been made to
scheme/lisp in some mail on archiving but I am not sure ...)

2)    I end up with too many initialisation files -- literally k*(n+1) for k
objects with n superclasses. (No, I am not initialising individual agents
that way -- just classes of their common attributes, for different
population groupings.)

Can one group the initialisation data into a single file and get at them in
any desired order?  (c.f. seek/lseek in C).

3) How can I adapt input files to take simple arithmetic expressions (.e.g.
1.0/365): this is necesseary for documentation purpose, as well as ease
entry of "derived" data for separate runs.

Thanks

William.

P/S: I am still on 1.4.1, but will be happy to know of any 2.0 facilities.
William.
