Hi David,

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but some plist  
files are in a binary format instead of just raw XML.  Apple has  
provided a command line utility that allows you to convert between  
the two formats.

NAME
     plutil -- property list utility

SYNOPSIS
     plutil [command_option] [other_options] file
             ...

DESCRIPTION
     plutil can be used to check the syntax of property list files,  
or convert
     a plist file from one format to another.


Regards

Todd
