The serialization library looks nice but I didn't think it was designed for 
this task, although I admit I haven't finished its documentation.

The general problem is I have binary data comming out of a 3rd party tool 
that I need to import and convert to something the application can work 
with.  Also several different formats of binary input data can be imported 
and have the same representation in the application.

Is this a good match for serialization?

Thanks,
