As an aside - I notice that I'm getting about 300 downloads/month of the serialization package from my web site. I have no information about downloads from the Yahoo/Boost files area - (which I would be curious to know). I get very little feedback - I'm wondering if lots of downloaders take a look and decide it's too complex to actually use.
I've seen several postings in comp.lang.c++* and microsoft...vc.* over the last few months. I'm also guilty of doing a little evangelizing there. Robert, your being a little pessimistic. Could be that many are using it without problem. :-) My initial uses even way back with #12(or there abouts) were successful. Albeit, I only needed to exercise simpler facets such as serialization of non-polymorphic classes and built-in data types. Certainly, your approach is much more intuitive/flexible/... than MFC's.
Robert, I'm using in some apps on win32 vc7.1 and the biggest complement I can give is, "It just works." Thanks for you effort, especially after that first tortuous review. Regards, Matt Hurd.
