I know it can be done in plain C language, but that would be lengthy and error-prone. If there is anything in Cocoa that can help me, it would be great. > If you're talking about plain-C structs then you can wrap them up in NSValue or NSData instances, which you can then write out with an NSCoder (or if you have lots of them, put them into an NSArray and do the same).
