Greetings, all.

In a project that I'm working on, I'm going to want to archive data to a file. So, I've read up on NSArchiver and NSUnarchiver and NSSerializer, et cetera, and the NSCoding protocol.

Problem is, I want to write to a bundle, not a flat file. The bundle would contain files for various objects and also resources that they share. So, it would be analogous to the .rtfd file format that TextEdit handles.

Look at NSFileWrapper. (It's in the AppKit.) NSDocument supports file wrappers, with slightly more work than "flat" coders.
