[...] When I hear "serialization", the term "AST" pop ups for me also. Possibly I'm too biased here ;-) but maybe that's the way to go? Creating a datastrzucture, while creatzing the functionality. And later, when you want to serialize what you have build up, write that datastructure, you build by your own, to a file. and when rereading it, this means: re-create the functionality from the datastructure. Isn't this, what is looked for, here? This is in a way langauge implementation. Isn't it? Ciao, Oliver
