What does the facet need to do?

Cheers

Subject: Re: [Boost-users] encoding data when serializing

The way to do this is to

a) make a custom codecvt facet for the i/o stream.

b) open an instance of the output/input stream with this codecvt facet

c) use this stream when creating save/loading archives

d) use as normal.

boost iostreams might provide another way to do this.

boost serialization has code in it for encoding/decoding

data as base64.  This code would be used to implement

the codecvt facet as described above.
