Eric, you left off the (fallacious) part about "AND it's OS-portable" (which I re-quoted here). http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_55_0.html Look at their "Compilers Tested": Clang, GCC, MSVC, Intel. They also only actively test under Linux, OS X, and Windows. Jim, it's fairly obvious that even with partial existing support for DOS (e.g. OpenWatcom, DJGPP), most people don't care. Sorry to burst your bubble, but upstream projects usually aren't very sympathetic to anything that isn't hugely supported and popular. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
