OK, I've found the version histories and the notes regarding supported compilers. (www.boost.org/users/history) It looks like VC6 is supported up to 1.34.1, though this would appear not to be supprorted in the ready-built installer from BoostPro. It looks like I'll have to build it from the source. Regards, Richard.

The installer for 1.36 from BoostPro only mentions VC7 and 8. The installer for 1.34.1 from BoostPro only mentions VC7.
Uncertainly, Richard.

Can someone tell me which is the most recent version of Boost to support Microsoft Visual C++ 6 ? In particular the Regular Expression module - Regex.
AFAICT, Boost.Regex from Boost 1.36 works well with Visual C++ 6.0
