[boost] Library request: pstream / socketstream / serial stream

Hi, At our labs we share the desire for a C++ iostreams implementation that deals with these problem domains: 1. Inter-process communications, including simple popen-type usage, like a scripting language; also pipes for forking 2. Socket communications, TCP UDP and unix 3. Serial communications, and a wrapper to set the serial parameters For 1. and 2., we are currently using the socket++ library. I am also aware of the PStreams library for 1. for 3. we use hacked together mix of C and C++. Is there any sort of joint strategy planned to tackle this area? If there is, I may be able to contribute. Marc -- Marc Siegel MIT Lincoln Laboratory Wideband Tactical Networking Group mlsiegel@ll.mit.edu . (781)981-5434
