been over a year since a new version of boost has been released.  Is
there a new boost version coming out soon or do I just have to download
and build shmem myself?

You can take a look at shmem if you want to map a file to memory.
 
Haven't tried it myself yet though.

I've had a look through the iostream stuff but my head can't think
straight this late in the week.  I require two things:

1. The ability to truncate and grow a file.  I see the seek/write
functions which I'm guessing will take care of my growth needs but what
about truncation?

2. The ability to memory map a file.  I saw mapped_file which I guess is
the one.
