Gentlemen,

Those interested in locale for text archives:

How does this strike you?

        text_iarchive(Stream  &_is) : 
                is(_is)
        {
                // archives always use classic locale
                #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE
                plocale = is.imbue(std::locale::classic());
                #endif
                init();
        }
        ~text_iarchive(){
                #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE
                is.imbue(plocale);
                #endif
        }

Another observation:

I note that my test.cpp program includes wchar_t member variables initialized to values in excess of 256.
The system doesn't seem to lose any informaton in storing/loading to a stream with classic locale.
