First I would like to point out one thing in the "Sequences and long
filenames" chain (or thread or whatever). This statement:

will print s = "Kato \"Badass\" Love" as [..]"Kato "Badass" Love"[..] in the
file, and will get() be able to read those extra qoutemarks correctly? I
have not tested this, but I did not think so.
Next is Daniel Bernstein with "PDF":

If you look for simplicity and space-saving, I would stay with Eduardo's
Stackplayer. And also while you skim those 350 pages we have to. But when
you finish, it would be great!

Yes, it will mess the stuff up. I made a program specific routine to save
a simple database program's (using David Cuny's TextGUI) data to a file.
All you have to do is go through the sequence and test for a \", then
insert a \\ before it. Here is some untested and unoptimized code that
should get the job done:
integer something
something = -1
while 1 do
something = find('\"', data[something+2..length(data)])
if something then
data = data[1..something-1] & '\\' &
data[something..length(something)]
else
exit
end if
end while
