Converting a stack to a text file..

[Mark Schonewille]

I have created DIFfersifier a long time ago. A few years ago, I added a 
way to export stacks to XML. It isn't difficult to do that, since you 
just list all the properties as XML. If I remember correctly, a few 
properties can be read but not set, or perhaps there was another 
problem. I never got to writing a tool to recreate stacks from the same 
XML files, but although it would be a lot of work, it is certianly doable.

Kind regards,
