[Boost-users] Does boost have something to support binary data streams?

I commonly need to write and read binary data from files.
The streams in the standard library are very tedious to use for such tasks.
I'd like to be able to construct a stream thats loads a little endian binary 
data file and use it to write/read data with the insertion/extraction 
operators on big endian or little endian systems.

Does anything like this exists?

Thanks,

Michael Marcin
