Adding an Easy File Save and File Load Mechanism to Your C++ Program

NOTE

To use the serialization library, you need to get at least version 1.32.0 of the library (earlier versions did not include the serialization library). Note that I don't show you here how to get the Boost library installed; the website offers instructions on installing the library. If you use the serialization library (and I hope you do because you read this whole thing), you need to also compile some additional .cpp source files that the library needs. You can find these in the boost_1_32_0\libs\serialization\src directory. There's also a boost_1_32_0\libs\serialization\build library that uses a new kind of build system called a jamfile, which you can use for building the source into a library. Or, you can just add the files in the src directory to your project.
