Re: Created Instances deleted after same time.

I did not mean that xml would have any advantages concerning Pegasus, but just 
that xml would allow you to choose some easily parsed tags and record 
identifiers, for your own convenience.  

You could write out in any arbitrary binary or text format you want.
A sample program would not likely help you very much unless you happen to be 
writing the exact same provider, for the same profile, which would be very 
unlikely.
But there are lots of free xml parsers.

A database would be ideal, but a simple xml text file would do fine.

Can any one point to any sample for that?  I would like to test that with a 
small pgm

thanks
