Re: NSDictionary round trip?
As an FYI, it appears that NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver seem
to be the preferred methods (replacing the older ones mentioned
below). for OS 10.2 or later

I see there is a - (NSString *)description that converts the
NSDictionary into a string; however, is there a way of taking that
string and creating a dictionary from it? I didn't see any init
methods like this. I'd like to send a dictionary to a thread (or
across a network) and recieve a dictionary in return?
One way would be to transmit bytes from NSData
on the sending end...
NSData* theDataToSend = [NSArchiver
archivedDataWithRootObject:yourDictionary];
// send the bytes from the data object
on the receiving end...
NSData* theData = build up with received bytes
NSDictionary* theDictionary = [NSUnarchiver
unarchiveObjectWithData:theSentData];
