Allowing objects to be archived

To permit an object be archived (also known as serialised) it's class needs to implement the NSCoding protocol. This protocol exposes two methods: -encoderWithCoder and -initWithCoder:. By implementing these methods, your object can be serialised/deserialised as well as sent over GNUstep's Distributed objects mechanism.

See the reference manual for more details.
