I recommend TDParseKit by Todd Ditchendorf (http://ditchnet.org/tdparsekit/ ). It comes with a demo app and can be used for tokenizing and parsing. The code is also moderately easy to browse, though a whole framework might be a bit heavy depending on what your needs are. - Ben On 19 Jun 20

In general, make sure to match the types of methods that you override (the obj-c runtime does not consider types). The signature of isEqual is: - (BOOL)isEqual:(id)object; Note the "id" type for the argument (however, if Browfile is an obj-c class, then things ought to work, so I assum
