Re: Somewhat of a GQuark

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Tristan,

  If you take the flat file approach, you could save the hasmap on the file
using some type of key=value pair

  And then loading it back and reinserting into the hashmap...

  Maybe this is the stuff you are trying to avoid doing ?
