I am using VS.NET 2003 and have a simple program which merely includes the Boost date_time library. When compiling, I get 4 warning messages about unsafe conversions. Is there some compiler setting that I can change to get rid of this warning? Shouldn't I be able to include a Boost library without getting warnings? Thanks!
