There were not that many responses to my query. Should I conclude that there is no interest in a binary_iostreams library ?
I'd give it a bit more time and maybe even a second post in a month or 2. This mailing list gets a ton of mail and sometimes people don't get a chance to reply immediately. I'm interested myself, but I don't have time to really look at it currently.
I'm interested as a user. I'm not familiar with the iostreams library myself, but one of my colleagues tried to use it for binary files. He found it very difficult (or impossible) to use the insertion and extraction operators to handle binary format. I don't know how he solved the problem, but I will suggest that he look at a new binary_iostreams library, if it is ever accepted and released. -- Dick Hadsell 914-259-6320 Fax: 914-259-6499 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 44 South Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601
