Hello,
After the (quite successful) porting of the railMLEditor.app, I'm now
trying to port another (much more extensive) application from OpenStep
to GNUstep. First steps look promising, but now I'm stuck in a
(well-known) problem: I want to read (and later also write)
OpenStep-Archives on GNUstep.
I had already a look at some prior discussions, and I'm not quite sure
about the current standings on this topic.
I've also read about GMArchiver, which could be used instead of
NSArchiver. But how to use this exactly?
The current progress you might be thinking of is with regards to Mac OS
X keyed archiving. OpenStep doesn't have this - there is still the
problem that these archives are binary and not documented.
GMArchiver and related files (in gnustep-gui/Model) would allow you to
read the archives and write them into a plist-type format - but you
would need to run this on an OPENSTEP machine). If that's possible, you
could use it to translate all your archives into a more readable
format, so that they could be used both in OPENSTEP and GNUstep.
Failing that, I think you're stuck trying to decode the OPENSTEP binary
format to figure out how things are stored.
