[Mono-list] Registry, text or binary?

[Everaldo Canuto]

Hello,

I start a implementation of Registry Classes on Linux.
For emulate a WinRegistry classes on Linux I think to save public data 
in the file /etc/system.reg and a private data on /home/user/.user.reg
My problem is to decide which format to use to save data.
Text file or binary file? If binary, What type of algoritimo to use?

What do you think?
