restore_object

restore_object()  -  restore  values  of  variables from a file into an
object

int restore_object( string name, int flag );

Restore values of variables for current object from file 'name'. If the
optional second argument is 1, then all of the non-static variables are
not zeroed out prior to restore (normally, they are).

In the case of an error, the affected variable will be  left  untouched
and an error given.
