It can actually be the last thing archived, but the first thing unarchived (you can do that with keyed archiving). But it might also be something that can be stored in my info file rather than the archive itself. What I was sort of hoping was that there was a way to figure out from the archive how many objects there were without having to archive the number explicitly. For example, the root level of an archive is a dictionary, which has a count, but that's only the top level. Going more into the way archives are actually stored, maybe the $top array might be a more accurate count? Dunno, I guess I'll have to experiment. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
