whooops...

change the file objfactory.d:
line  5:	static char[][ClassInfo]			o2n;
line 17:			factory.o2n[T.classinfo]		= T.classinfo.name;
line 23:			factory.o2n[T.classinfo]	= name;
line 29:		return o2n[obj.classinfo];

sorry, guess i was too sleepy...

hmm. what's a rar file and can you post the files in something
more conventional? something that WinZip can read, for instance.
Do I need to upgrade my WinZip?
thanks,

Rar is a *slightly* better compression scheme then zip.  Get winrar or winase (winase does many formats).  Everyone uses zip and it doesn't seem people are willing to upgrade to/pick a (slightly) better format (of which there are many competing factions).

Winase? Google suggest Winace did you mean that?
If you want a good compression for text files, you should use bzip2

For that I could say, winase is not existing anyways. It should be winaCe.

> Java's serialization API goes this route. I haven't used it but it looks very easy. The Effective Java book, though, cautions against relying too heavily on the default behaviors.


Well of course you have to be aware of what is happening but much of the time, but you can always overload the default behaviour, and your back where we started before.

> The basic warning was that the default serialization scheme really nails down your class implementation and it's easy to turn it on and not realize you've just forced yourself into supporting a given implementation. It's ironic - the more features it has the more problematic it becomes

I also think you should be able to plugin your own handlers into the serialization engine but that's a different issue and doesn't have to do with default serialization.

Well this is one area where D does not have to go

Well what are classes all about.  You would simply need to extend classes in the stream set.  All I argue is that it should be in the standard somewhere.  Parhaps called mapSerialization.
