what is the fate of this library?
Thanks for your interest!
The previous version available at http://www.xmission.com/~turkanis/iostreams/.

A quick look your page is very interesting. (looks very cool)
Thanks.
I was thinking (also) along the same lines for some work I am
currently
doing, but you beat me to it.
Question, have you tried to combine the streaming with boost serialization?
I think Robert Ramey has already done the work to combine serialization with iostreams, since his archive types are constructible from arbitrary streams -- that means it's already possible to create archives based on streams from the iostreams library, e.g. memory-mapped file streams. There may be other interactions I haven't considered. I've only read the documentation; I haven't actually tried to use the serialization library yet. Best Regards, Jonathan
