binary portable archive changed a lot. Basically it wasn't portable before.

But - it was (and still is) considered a demo and no effort was expended in maintaining backward compatibility. I would suggest in this case that you make copy binary_portable_archive from 1.35, rename it, recompile it under the new name, and use it to read the old files.

Thanks for the info. We are in a position to update to the later version as it's not yet in use by clients. I'd like to be able to move forward in the future if/when pba becomes a formal part of serialization.

\boost_1_37_0\boost/serialization/extended_type_info_typeid.hpp(115) : warning C4100: 'p' : unreferenced formal parameter

that's already fixed.

Will it be rolled into 1_37?

I'm also having trouble reading portable_binary file generated from boost_1_35_0. I'll try to reproduce with a smaller test case, but if you have any ideas on what to look for I'd appreciated it.

Thanks, Jeff
