I do not think I want to be the one who tries to satisfy everybody. That's a daunting task...
I will use your version of portable binary archive as long as there is a way to test its compatibility with the underlying system... Just something like "whoops, this system is not IEEE754 compatible so archives created on this system will not be portable".
It's not straight forward to do such a test but I will have a look at it for the next release. Johan Rade does a classication of floating point formats in his fp_utilities. I'll see if I can use that. Regards, -- Christian Pfligersdorffer Software Engineering http://www.eos.info
