Hi Robert
I posted a example - did this not work?
I did look at you example, but I did not understand how it could possibly work. And therefor for I did not try it out as the first thing.
However, I have tried it now, and it is working. The only problem is that I do not understand how.
Basically, if a) you've installed boost b) read the documentation for the serialization library c) and it's not clear why my code works then It's a bug in the documentation. As far as I'm concerned this is the same as a bug in the code they really are "one thing". So, if you go back the documentation, I believe you should be able to discover why my example works. If you do this and conclude that something needs to be added to the documentation feel free to propose some more language the documentation which would avoided the confusion. Then post this is a trac item and it will eventually make it's way into the official documentation. This will give you a constructive way to vent your frustration and avoid having another person suffer this same fate.
Also, I do not understand why the (not so elegant) example of mine, does not work...
Honestly, I couldn't really understand your example without investing a lot more effort. But if you do the above, you will likely be able to understand this yourself.
But anyway, thanks for providing a good solution to my problem.
My pleasure Robert Ramey
