I didn't miss it and considered it, but XML usually names its elements. That meta-data is an important part of validation and the free-form lovefest that makes XML popular. There is no way that I saw, given the abstract interface of the archives, to name the string that I put into the archive. Perhaps that could be an extension. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
