Me too - but I found getting started VERY confusing and almost gave up. But Gennadiy now has a whole TEAM of writers on the job of producing better documentation - and they don't have the crippling disadvantage (for this task) of having written the code. With his new macros, I am confident we can produce something very simple. But either bjam has to work a lot better than it has for me, or better, we have to ship pre-built library files for the major users. Given those, it's a doddle. And it gives you a nice record of what you've tested - and what you haven't ;-) | However... I still can't figure out how to use the macro that checks | equivalence between floating point numbers. The interface is just too | strange, and the docs are not very clear. I am working on this as we speak.
