    Serialize-alternatives

    Historic alternatives to the serialize routines.

    Routines compact-print-file and compact-read-file were previously built into ACL2. Another option was to use the hons-archive library. These tools were deprecated and ultimately removed from ACL2. If for some reason you need to use them, see community-books SVN revisions prior to 1314.
