The only array types for which in the general case that will result in a portable archive are char and unsigned char. It is only equivelent to a write_array function if the archive is the same as the platform specific binary archive. In fact, write_binary probably should not exist in that form - the parameter type should be changed to char const * or unsigned char const *. Note also the lack of const. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
