Class) ? obj.new : obj) end http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/ruby/MacRuby/trunk/lib/dispatch/actor.rb i.e., ----- require 'dispatch' serialized_array = Dispatch.wrap(Array) ---- Would that do it for you? -- Ernie P. _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
