Hi jomali,

At least in my case, because I often modify data in the raw stored database 
format, and it is easier if the format is easy to read, and storage space and 
computer speed to scan it are now _very_ cheap.  



I'm mostly speaking of use in dBase and FoxPro as I am just slowly learning / 
converting to OO Base.
