Opinions Needed

[Tony Thompson <to...@stone-ware.com>]

After much struggling, I was able to hack together something that seems
to function as a deserializer.  The way I did it seems a little
complicated so, I was hoping someone might be able to offer a better
(cleaner) solution.  At the very least, I am looking for ways to improve
the deserializer because I have several more that I will need to write.

Thanks for any help.
