Thanks for the help.  What I mean is I would like to read/write the value of
the ptime in the most efficient way possible.  So if the ptime is stored as
2 ints, I would like to (de)serialize 8 bytes (4 bytes each int).
Portability isn't an issue.

What I would rather *not* do is use something like to_iso_string(ptime) and
from_iso_string(ptime).  The string representation is rather long.  But if
that's the only way to do it, guess I'll have to make do.

Thanks,
Scott
