flib.function(args)

1. Download the file
2. Navigate to your .minecraftmodsComputerCraftluarom folder
3. put the file in the apis folder
4. Start Minecraft
5. Handle some files!

ovar.new(name, value) --Creates a new variable, that can now be loaded
ovar.load(name) --Returns an old value, asuming that it exists

local x = ovar.new("test", 10) --We create a the variable
x:save() --We save the value, so it can be used later
print(x.value) --We print the value
x:unload() --We unload the variable

------------------------------------------------
Output:
10

local x = ovar.load("test")
x.value = {"Hello ", "World!"} --We set the value of x to a table
x:save()
print(x.value[1] .. x.value[2]) --We print the two fields in the table

------------------------------------------------
Output:
Hello World!

Nice! Can you tell me a little bit more about the Custom BIOS? What is os.remove() used for example? Or what is the difference of read and custom read?

All of these look AWESOME! I will most definitely be trying this later. These will definitely make a lot of things easier.

Also, would you be okay with me possibly implementing some of this INTO my code so that people don't have to download your APIs as well, provided I give you full credit for your work on the post and in the program? This is all theoretical right now, but please shoot me a PM and lemme know what you think.
