Yes it did work for me. I got only one warning that polymorphic_base is 
no dll-interface, but that
occured even in your test projects.

Thank you Robert for your answers!

On the boost-users mailing list are some questions and testcode which 
did not work which tried to do that kind of stuff. As far as i remember, 
your answer was, that it was important to get the project settings 
right. So i tried to do my homework ;) and made an example. It wasn't 
clear to me, what project settings are needed. First i tried with my 
classes, but it did not work. Then i copied your files and it did not 
work. Only after coping your settings changed that. May it be possible 
to add an explanation which requirements are needed for serialization 
via abstract interfaces in dlls in the documentation of the 
serialization library?

Thanks again!
Georg
