I should probably ask what format it is after its unencoded as well :)
It appears to be base64 - but then what do I have?

Hi,
its MFC special encoding - saves 1 byte to 2 alpha characters. think we will change it to base64 to reduce about 1/3 of size. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

base64 would be cool - I am one that is stuck in my ways so bad that I ended up making its so I could run php commands straight from vb6 - which in this case means I have base64 encoding and decoding a function call away :) Any idea when (if) such a change would take place?
My app that I am working on is built to be extended a great deal, and actually every bit of it I work on is done as extensions.
As such - I have the need to be very flexable in how I modify the toolbars.
As much as I personally hate XML - there is times when it would be much more simple to just modify the XML file on startup - before I load it, than it would be to modify it programically (php again - have all my changes sitting there waiting in php array - load the xml file into another array - merge my changes into the xml array ...save that modified array as the xml file - done)
(oh - give me a serialized array any day of the week over an xml file - much smaller - no "rules" I need to care about .. and much easier to work with)

Think it will be part of 11.2.1 or something like that. :-) ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
