At the moment, AC only has a save archive command in the general AC plan environment. However, as the scale of GDL system goes up, I think that having a save archive command for the GDL objects itself would be necessary. In a real time large-scale project, a single object would call up a system of Macros created in many different folders. On top of that, you would have files like database, pictures and texture associated with the object. When you pass this one object to people, you would put it on the project plan and save archive. When people get this object, this would expand in their directory a bunch of folders and files for this one object. It isn't quite the problem of file management I am talking about. It is the security issue that matter. Very often, you wouldn't want people to look at the expanded files at all. For example, a manufacturer don't like people messing around with their database files and a programmer don't like other programmer to look at the structure of how he organize his system. Is it possible to save/access the whole bunch of files as a single file that would have all the database, macro and pictures embedded in it?
