I can't help but wonder: if some parts of your v1 format are so completely redundant as to allow you to reconstruct the original data even if you skip them, what was the point of writing them in the first place? Here's one scenario (I'm sure there are others): Your class uses a 3rd party library called Y. Later, you decide to replace it with a better engine using a library called Z.
Still not getting it. Do you have an example?
Another use case... If you make two versions of a product, one a demo/trial and another the full release. One person makes a data file in the release version and sends it to a friend who has the demo. There happens to be a feature not available in the demo which has an impact on the data format. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
