Re: [boost] [serialization][portable-binary archive] Data not byte-swapped across architectures

Hello:

The version of portable-binary that I am using is from the Trunk.

I am under the impression that I am not using the archive, or the 
"portable-ness" of it, properly. But I can not find any examples of the 
usage of the portable-binary archive.

It is not clear if I need to archive in a specific endian-ness and then 
manually detect the architecture and byte-swap if necessary. Or if all 
of that is handled automatically by the portable-binary archive.

I hope this helps explain the nature of my problem.

best regards, Jon Kroll
