That's not stringification. It's serialization, which is a different thing entirely. What you'll potentially get is a thing that can be completely reconstituted into what it originally was, complete with variables, methods, attributes, and whatnot. How much gets serialized depends on what you'll choose--in the worst case, your entire program will need to get serialized, but that'll be doable. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
