plist Class for REALbasic Troubleshooting ReportTwo more problems - Version: 2.11.1, 7/11/2008 10:51AM PST

(1) Don't use GetReal & SetReal - they are suppossed to replace GetDouble & SetDouble but they don't work (haven't had time to locate the error yet)

(2) As soon as I add the plist (but not plist dict) to my app the app looses it's menubar in the IDE. Even when you set the menu bar again, save it and load it - then the app menubar is gone again

Takes out a lot of hassle, and is versatile and stable.

Developer seems no longer reachable under the address given at the website but as you get the complete source code you can fix any bugs yourself.
