Thanks Robert,

Regarding your suggestion to use text serialization. Since, over time, we will be adding and deleting data from the data set that we serialize, would the following be the right approach to managing the changes in the data that is de/serialized. I'm thinking that we would set the BOOST_CLASS_VERSION before de/serializing.

{
               ar & mInt;
               If(version >= 2)
                              ar & mFloat;
               If(version >= 3)
                              ar & mInt2;
               ar & mFloat2;
}

Regards,
Adlai
