Hi Robert, i have been going through your example code, thanks for the help. 
I do have a problem in that i see "serialization bookmarking" data is 
inserted into the stream, this is default archive behaviour so i am trying 
to overide this part of the archives functionality and replace it with a 
dummy function which does nothing... in other words i am after a raw binary 
stream without a version numbers and without this bookmark data. I have done 
stack traces at breakpoints where this bookmarking data seems to be written, 
but there are a lot of calls and i will be honest i am getting lost! Any 
further pointers much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
