Actually it sounds like I've confused you.  Yes, you absolutely CAN use
ACE/TAO to talk cross-platform/cross-language seemlessly using CDR.  What you
CAN'T do is use boost.serialization to create a binary file on one platform
that you can read on the other because it doesn't have a CDR archiver.  And
there is obviously no tie between ACE/TAO and boost.serialization.  And, yes,
this is getting off-topic.
