[Boost-users] Iostreams and Tarballs?

Hello list,

I am wanting to manage a file format used by another application in my
own application.

They have a tar.gz file, renamed to something else. In it, there is an
XML file and some .wav sound files. Can I use Boost to handle this? I
would want to parse the XML from the archive, and then load a few of the
sound files.

What I don't want to do is something cheesy like call the tar program
from mine! That's'orrible  :)

Cheers for any help, and code (pseudo or otherwise) would be great. Or
just a yes or no you can/can't do that would be a start.

Cheers all,

Gaz
