RE: Missing interface that connects NSCoder to NSStream ?

Helge,

I missed one phrase in your previous mail:

of data

I wanted to use NS*Streams because they seemed like a proper way to
isolate
the input/output from the "media" (memory buffer, file, socket can be
dealt with
uniformely), but I might have been drawing too much from my C++ habits
(where reading/writing with std::istream/std::ostream is the standard
practice).

Does OPENSTEP/Cocoa offer better mechanism that works like C++ stream,
i.e. let you disregard the source of data and concentrate on formatting?

Thank you,
Tima.
