Jeff, Thanks for mentioning that. I am a bit weird in that I *do* RTFM. While the Boost documentation has a very professional look, I have found in a number of different libraries that the information seems disjoint. It is often difficult to figure out how to do any one thing without reading and comparing a bunch of different pages. For example, you build Boost with bjam, but try to find one listing of what the command line arguments are to bjam. Merrill
