<dl>
<dd> Returns a string object, which has only characters from the ASCII subset of Unicode. The <i>plist</i> object must be one of the other permitted property-list types: Vector, Hashtable, or byte[].

</pre>
<dl>
<dd> Returns a property-list object derived from interpreting the ASCII property-list representation <i>stringRep</i>. The string object should encode only one top-level object. The return object is one of Vector, Hashtable, String, or byte[].
<dd> Returns TRUE if <i>plist1</i> and <i>plist2</i> are the same, FALSE if they are not. The compared objects must be of the same type (else FALSE is always returned). This method performs recursive compare operations on collections such as Vectors and Hastables. If anything is different, the method returns FALSE.
