I can absolutely guarantee that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have any comments or spot any bugs, please get in touch. </p> </div> <table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> <td align="left"></td> <td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 1998 -2007 John Maddock<p> Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
