    I'm looking for some routines to write/read icon data types
    on disk.  The routines would allow a list or a table (or any
    icon data type for that matter) to be written out to a disk
    file and later read back into an icon variable of the same 
    type as the original.  I suppose each icon variable in the
    file would need to be tagged with its type, and a file would
    look like a sequence of icon variables of arbitrary types.
    Has anyone written something like this?

    Thanks in advance,

	Paul Postel
