I'm using something like the code below to save an NSDictionary of objects to the device. Is there a way to open this archive, drill down into the Dictionary items that it contains and, ideally, edit the data? My guess is no, not reliably, as the optimization done when saving makes the archive difficult to interpret...at least it appears...
