Well, the opposite of: "can store all strings" is: "can store only certain strings". My point is that the number of unstorable strings is greater than zero. Whether it is 1 or any other number is quite beside the point. If something does not work correctly, I insist of calling it "broken". Even if it might work correctly in most cases. Some people obviously think otherwise (e.g. Apple engineers responsible for NSKeyedArchiver). Kind regards, Gerriet. P.S. I have to admit that the wording "can store only certain strings" verges on the over-dramatic. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
