It is stated in the documentation that native binary archives cannot be expected to be portable accross machine architectures. text (and xml) based archives should be portabable without problem.

I think this has been requested before, but maybe now with Beman's new (and nice) "endian" library, it's time to put together a portable (cross-platform) binary archive scheme (maybe more than one) for Boost.Serialization. I have yet to use Boost.Serialization, so I don't know the issues or scope of effort, but would be happy to volunteer some help (and it would be a good excuse to start learning B.S). Cliff
