Thanks for the alternative.  It does look much cleaner.  I've seen boost Phoenix around but haven't really gotten into to it.  Is there a web article that describes the pros and cons of using Phoenix versus Lambda.  From an outside perspective it looks like they do the same things.  This of course leads me to ask why there are two libraries.

If I understand correctly, Boost.Phoenix is intended to replace Boost.Lambda. In my experience the syntax is a little nicer and it has been easier to use & extend than lambda.
