Thanks. I think I will have to look for another compiler. It is just that I need to link my C++ - program with a fortran program and with Visual C++ 5.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran this has worked once.
I only see two options: 1) Stay with your compiler but forget about boost (and probably about many other useful C++ libraries which take advantage of templates in more than simple ways). 2) Bite the bullet and try to adapt your VC 5 program to one of the proposed compilers. I guess it is easier for you, if you try the express edition of the Visual Studio compiler first, depending on which parts of the VC 5 library you use. I'm quite sure that there won't be any problems with linking your Fortran code with this compiler. Good luck, Daniel
