serialize examples

This page gives example input and output data for the serialize program. The output data from these tests can be compared to output on your platform using the same input file in order to determine if there is a problem with the serialize program. If the output you generate is not the same as the output listed in the individual tests, then something may be wrong with the compiled program or your computing environment (or a bug added to the program after the example output was generated).
