It's written in C++, so you cannot avoid that difficulty.

ReadWriteStringLists and ReadWriteIntLists are serialized to files under
$PBMSERV/games, for example Gomoku game 100 is $PBMSERV/games/Gomoku/100

But that is mostly done for you by the base classes.  You just have to
make sure the $PBMSERV/games/Gomoku directory exists.
