not a stream. There is no easy way to turn this into a real stream - with facets, and everything else.

Coming soon to CVS nearest you. :-)
Excellent ! Could you please double check the file test_tools.hpp in libs/serialization/test to see what I had to do to make a crude but effective substitute for what I needed. I seem to remember a lot of aggravation in dealing with different compile implementations. Now that I've written the above, I wonder if a better string_stream might not be better in many cases. My files are small. When I looked at string stream before, it didn't handle codecvt facets which made me skeptical about using for my tests. Hmmm - maybe codecvt facets don't make any sense in string stream - more food for thought. In any case, your understanding of what I'm asking for is correct. Thanks a lot. Robert Ramey
