Hi Robert,
 
Were you able to find some clue?
 
I don't think it is related to the problem but there are some compilation warnings, do you have suggestion how to avoid it?

                Hi,
                I am trying to use the portable binary archive example.
                I need to serialize only integers and strings.
                 
                I tried it on linux and solaris5.8. The result binary stream is not the same and deserialization fails.
                 
                I used hex viewer and notice that the files are very similar except for some few differences which results from endienness issues. Can it be that the metadata is written differently on each platform.
                 
                This is happens when I serialize derived class through a pointer to base class. (I used BOOS_CLASS_EXPORT)
                 
                Below you will find a test case. It produce differ output on linux and solaris.
                 
                Am I missing something?
                 
                Thanks in advance
                 Dan Leibovich
