Understood.

Hmm.. can I save a text archive as xml? Does the serializer care
whether xml tags are present?
Interestingly, the text archiver was giving me linefeeds for a while.
Now they aren't there. I didn't change any of the serialization code,
but I did change the classes and structs that get serialized.

Unfortunately, time is of the essence.

Agreed. I need to get to the knee point with this app, then I can
address these things in maintenance mode.
