AbsFile is an Xtra for Director (version 7, 8, MX). It allows:

- writing and reading of binary and text files,
- access to all Windows file manipulation functions,

AbsFile facilitates the saving and re-reading of Director variables (symbols, numbers, rectangles, points, etc.) as well as text, lists and property lists, even nested. It is an indispensable tool for the data management of a Director application and for communication between applications or with the operating system.
