My thanks to a number of people who responded with several solutions to my problem of saving a fairly large variable. I was hoping that standard AS would have a way of just writing out a variable to a file (other than text) and I guess there should be (according to has) but it doesn't work. This isn't the first time I've come across something that says it works in the documentation but doesn't...

Very useful to me was the save resource from Akua. It cut time between trial runs from 20 minutes to about 1. I've also taken some ideas on using FMP a little cleaner in order to speed things up. The only problem with Akua is that I plan to go to OS X sometime soon and I'm not sure how well that will work. There was another solution to save a script with my variable as a property in that script. That will hopefully run within OS X just as well as OS 9. One thing I've noticed about that, though, is it's a little bigger in the file size.

Akua Pref file 208k
Script file 356k

Thanks again for everyone's help!

Landis
