Description

"I always need to have a "Persistent Data Store" file, so I finally decided to write one using ZIP files. This article details exactly what I did to use Turbo Power's Abbrevia as a Virtual Data Store, using one single file to store all program data. I tried to publish this to the BDN, but they never answering my emails."
