I've a quick remark: I think that text archives ultimately, should do some conversion (e.g. base64) in write_binary method. If this a "text" archives, then they should really be usable as text files, for example, doing 'cat' on them should never do anything wrong to console, and transferring over any medium should be save.
As it stands, even forgetting to open the stream in binary mode will destroy the data. - Volodya _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
