The date_time library fails to compile with Borland C++ 5.6.4 for want of the recursive functions such as localtime_r etc. Borland needs adding to the list of compilers not supporting these functions in date_time/compiler_config.hpp.

Doug Ok ot check-in? The fix is trivial... ...

Yes, go ahead.

Done. Jeff ps: I'll add my thx to the OSL admins for their work on the mailing list -- it is incredibly fast now -- posts reflecting almost immediately. We haven't seen performance like this since Yahoo Groups days. Nice work guys!

Boost.Filesystem is also going to have a lot of trouble with those compilers. Same reason - TR2 proposal code just isn't going to work without enable_if and other modern techniques.

I'm going to try to provide support for narrow strings only, but even that will be a battle.

Well, I'll keep saying it: I think Boost developers have better things to do with their time than fight these old relics. It might be different if there were and big supply of developers and no important work left to do. I'd much rather see us devote time to helping along a network or database library (or a bunch of other worthy things). Jeff
