I see a potencial for it to become a standard like iostreams now. I'm glad you added the part about iostreams as I think it hits the nail on the head. I agree with Andrei's opinions of iostreams. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++.moderated/browse_frm/thread /86a5a3f804c84ea4/48842ae2fd029ce6?hl=en#48842ae2fd029ce6 While iostreams is a part of the standard that doesn't mean it is a healthy part of it. I think eventually someone will develop something better. You've been touting multi_index here as well. I wouldn't balk if you suggested adding it to the standard. Brian www.webEbenezer.net
