Hello Beman, looks interesting. I'm not able to find the bootstrap.sh file mentioned in the README, it seems to be missing in the repository. I have four remarks on the current state 1) I think having the in-memory representation to be identical to the on-disk representation is a very serious limitation. Wrapping around it by overloading the output stream operators doesn't seem efficient. I'm not advocating Boost.Serialization; rather something like Asio's buffer-handling mechanism (which, in turn, can handle Boost.Serialization). 2) using a "path" argument to having a file open presumes a real underlying file. Although this is fine, maybe I would like to use an fstream? 3) It would be nice if it would work with an asynchronous file-like services, like, e.g., Asio's RandomAccessHandleService, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/RandomAcc... 4) have you looked at http://goo.gl/r8Z2m and/or http://goo.gl/lvc9A ? Thanks, Cheers, Rutger
