Robert,
First of all---thank you for your help and for all of your work to 
develop and support this wonderful serialization library.

I have narrowed down my problem---I think it is a general problem with 
the 1.33.1 serialization library with xml archives and VC8.  I have 
reproduced the problem by modifying demo_shared_ptr.cpp to use xml 
archives rather than text archives.  The class registration for type B 
fails.

That is, I modified the original regsitrations (in the addition by DT 
section of main), which were using the old implementation details of 
shared ptr to be

         oa.register_type<A>( static_cast<A*>( NULL ) );
         oa.register_type<B>( static_cast<B*>( NULL ) );

This compiles and works fine for text archives, but fails to compile 
with xml archives with the static assert error that an nvp wrapper has 
not be used.  In your modified demo_shared_ptr example, are you using 
xml archives too?

Is there any way I can get a zip copy of the HEAD of boost?

Thanks,
