  From the boost website it seems that shmem has been accepted but it's 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.
