How about merging these into the *.txt files? My primary reason is to reduce disk seeks. Because filesystems typically store data in 4 kB blocks, this will save space too.
For the Windows users, a *.txt file can be edited. A *.dat file would not be associated with a text editor. Web servers often assign MIME type by filename. The *.dat files are likely to be unviewable, and at least Firefox is cruel about not letting one view a file as text if the MIME type is wrong. _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list Tuxpaint-dev@tux4kids.net http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
