The only difference with the previous situation is that I replaced the BibItems by NSDictionaries containing the type, fields, and optionally a URL string. So essentially the same data, in fact even less. The enclosing array is passed bycopy, which should mean that the whole thing should be archived. I'd say that NSArray, NSDictionary, and NSString should properly support old-style archiving, otherwise it is an Apple bug for sure. The fact that it did work is not necessarily conclusive, as for the ZOOM case it depended on the order in which some calls were made.
