[Boost-users] [iostreams] implementing an xdr streams

I've looked at Jack Reeves' XDRStream code from earlier CUJ articles. I've 
tested his code which seems extract values properly, but has problems with 
tellg, seekg, ... returning incorrect values and corrupting the stream 
state.

This seems like an ideal application for the iostreams library. JR's 
implementation is based on an XDR_CHAR 32 bit character type. Any thoughts 
on whether this is the ideal approach? Any guidance on design directions 
would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff
