#8 Player file format

[Richard Archer]

I think I'll have to re-write the player file format to
implement new variants. The existing format is
something I've never liked, and I want to go back to
the original pfile format where each item in the pfile
saved with a description tag. Or migrate to an XML
schema or a database.

This would allow file formats to be mixed and matched
(i.e. new variables and variants to be implemented)
without a wholesale re-write of pfiles. What would
happen is that the variables that are new would not be
available in the old format files, and would be
initialised to a predetermined value.
