This should make it apparent why I've never wanted to make a "portable binary archive" but left it as a demo or example. There is now way I could do this without making choice what some people would view as not being what they envision a "portable binary archive" to be. This would leave me with a life time task of defending these choices forever on this and other lists.
I think I understand now... the issue is a boiling pot :) I'm counting 50 replies to the topic already and there's no concensus. I do not think I want to be the one who tries to satisfy everybody. That's a daunting task... This is boon and bane of the boost libraries. Regards, -- Christian Pfligersdorffer Software Engineering http://www.eos.info
