I have looked into that, that’s why I wrote in: >> the external format is not database-ish at all (so the capability for custom >> export formats won't help) The store format assumes there’s at least one field in a record that can be used like a database(-ish) index. Custom stores can’t help if the data is too dumb to have such a qualifying field. — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
