ah, yes. dammit. and they don't have public accessors. > However note that the Read() method accepts an istream so you could > serialise your lattice into a string and then pass it in as an > istringstream.

I really want to use it as an external library. So, with the above remark, the only option I'm left with is to serialise my lattice and pass it as an istringstream, as you said. The good news is that it probably means less work for me. The bad news is that I'm really not sure about efficiency. But I'll worry about that later. > > hope that helps - regards - Barry It does, a lot.
