-    /**
-     * Provides a framework for serialization of objects and primitives.  The
-     * archive will handle any basic primitive, a few special types, like char *
-     * strings, as well as STL classes and anything that inherits from the
-     * Archival class.  Each Archive operates on a Stream, so you can send the
-     * data using an Archive almost anywhere.
-     *
-     * In order to use an Archive to store something to a file, try something
-     * like:
-     *@code
-     * File sOut("output", "wb"); // This is a stream subclass
-     * Archive ar( sOut, Archive::save );
-     * ar << myClass;
-     @endcode
-     * In this example myClass is any class that inherits from Archival.  When
-     * the storage operator is called, the Archival::archive() function in the
-     * myClass object is called with a reference to the Archive.  This can be
-     * handled in one of two ways:
-     *@code
-     * void MyClass::archive( Archive &ar )
-     * {
-     *  ar && sName && nAge && sJob;
-     * }
-     @endcode
-     * Here we don't worry about weather we're loading or saving by using the
-     * smart && operator.  This allows us to write very consistent, very simple
-     * archive functions that really do a lot of work.  If we wanted to do
-     * something different in the case of loading or saving we would do:
-     *@code
-     * void MyClass::archive( Archive &ar )
-     * {
-     *  if( ar.isLoading() )
-     *  {
-     *      ar >> sName >> nAge >> sJob;
-     *  } else
-     *  {
-     *      ar << sName << nAge << sJob;
-     *  }
-     * }
-     @endcode
-     * Archive currently does not provide facility to make fully portable
-     * archives.  For example, it will not convert between endianness for you,
-     * nor will it take into account differences between primitive sizes on
-     * different platforms.  This, at the moment, is up to the user to ensure.
-     * One way of dealing with the latter problem is to make sure and use
-     * explicit primitive types from the stdint.h header, i.e. int32_t.

+     * Provides a framework for serialization of objects and primitives.  The

+     * strings, as well as STL classes and anything that inherits from the
+     * Archival class.  Each ArchiveBinary operates on a Stream, so you can send the
+     * data using an ArchiveBinary almost anywhere.
+     *
+     * In order to use an ArchiveBinary to store something to a file, try something
+     * like:
+     *@code
+     * File sOut("output", "wb"); // This is a stream subclass
+     * ArchiveBinary ar( sOut, ArchiveBinary::save );
+     * ar << myClass;
+     @endcode
+     * In this example myClass is any class that inherits from Archival.  When
+     * the storage operator is called, the Archival::archive() function in the
+     * myClass object is called with a reference to the ArchiveBinary.  This can be
+     * handled in one of two ways:
+     *@code
+     * void MyClass::archive( ArchiveBinary &ar )
+     * {
+     *  ar && sName && nAge && sJob;
+     * }
+     @endcode
+     * Here we don't worry about weather we're loading or saving by using the
+     * smart && operator.  This allows us to write very consistent, very simple
+     * archive functions that really do a lot of work.  If we wanted to do
+     * something different in the case of loading or saving we would do:
+     *@code
+     * void MyClass::archive( ArchiveBinary &ar )
+     * {
+     *  if( ar.isLoading() )
+     *  {
+     *      ar >> sName >> nAge >> sJob;
+     *  } else
+     *  {
+     *      ar << sName << nAge << sJob;
+     *  }
+     * }
+     @endcode
+     * ArchiveBinary currently does not provide facility to make fully portable
+     * archives.  For example, it will not convert between endianness for you,
+     * nor will it take into account differences between primitive sizes on
+     * different platforms.  This, at the moment, is up to the user to ensure.
+     * One way of dealing with the latter problem is to make sure and use
+     * explicit primitive types from the stdint.h header, i.e. int32_t.
