Storing Objects to External Files

It is possible to store all instances of a class into Unix files by calling the menu item Store Frames from the Model submenu in the Server menu. Choosing Employee as classname, Employee_Instances as output-filename and the home directory as absolute path will produce a file Employee_Instances.sml with all the instances of Employee in frame representation. If this file already exists one is asked to determine whether the program should append the models to the file or overwrite it. Note that the extension `.sml' is automatically added to the end of the filename, so that the menu item Load Model will recognise the file as a Telos model-file.
