[pstreams-devel] pstreams kudos!

Hi, developer(s)!

i just came across pstreams while looking for the zipios++ lib and i'm=20
very impressed with what you've done. i am going to attempt to create=20
an addon for libs11n (http://s11n.net) which uses your streams to=20
de/serialize data over arbitrary commands, like ssh. That will allow us=20
to save/load our C++ objects to/from remote servers from arbitrary=20
s11n-using applications. :) :) :)

Abstractly, that's something like this:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0opstream out("ssh me@host '=
cat > destination'");
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0s11nlite::save( mySerializa=
bleObject, out );

Likewise, for input:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0ipstream inp( "ssh me@host =
'cat < sourcefile'");
	MyT * t =3D s11nlite::load_serializable<MyT>( inp );

The great part is, the stream-level dispatching is done away from=20
client-side code, so any s11nlite users can take advantage of it=20
without changing their code.

Oh, the possibilities!

Many thanks for your code!!!
