Hello,

thank you for your answer... I've dowloaded the portable binary archive 
on the link you provided, I did not found the other impementation you 
are talking about... any links or sources ?
I check on the SVN, and tried a little googling with no success to a 
download link...

I'll try your implementation soon and let you know.

Regards,

Mathieu

Either you use xml or text archives from boost::serialization or you grab one of the portable binary archives that are around. Currently there are two implementations I know of: one to be included in some future version of boost::serialization and one that was written by me. The first you can get from the trunk or the authors website I guess, the latter you can download from the boost vault (http://www.boostpro.com/vault/).
