NSArchiver and NSKeyedArchiver files are endian-independent, and can
be unarchived on either Intel or PowerPC with no extra work on your
part.

Subject: NSKeyedArchiver, CoreData and Intel
I use NSKeyedArchiver to read/write data files for my application.
At some point, I may migrate to using CoreData.
If a user starts out with a PowerPC Mac with my software and then
moves to an Intel Mac, will the files created on the PowerPC Mac be
readable on the Intel Mac?
Will I need to invest time into some sort of conversion process?
Or, are the binary files that are created somehow marked such that
byte-swapping will be handled automatically? i.e. files do not need
any byte swapping or are tagged such that the framework knows their
"endianness".
