Al Stevens who writes the C++ column for "Doctor Dobbs Journal" put out a persistent template library for C++ containers some time back. It is probably on the DDJ web site, although I haven't looked there recently. You might want to check that out and see what he did. I will readily admit I have not had the need to persist container data in my daily programming but I can understand others having that need.

So, 1) looks better now. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
