Claims of overlap with program options seem unhelpful, and overlap is no bar to acceptance. Boost is not Std - a simple tool may be more widely useful than a theoretically perfect solution that is difficult to use. | * What is your evaluation of the implementation? Not studied. | * What is your evaluation of the documentation? Helpful tutorial. Sold the library to me, and many others. | * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness | of the library? Looks to have several uses, and others in future. | * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? No. | Did you have any problems? | * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? Read the docs and followed the dicussions. | * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? No. | * Do you think the library should be accepted as a | Boost library? Yes - it is good enough now - and will be improved. (In view of the busy review queue, I don't think it is wise to require a re-review - I think we should trust the author). -- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB Phone and SMS text +44 1539 561830, Mobile and SMS text +44 7714 330204 mailto: pbristow@hetp.u-net.com http://www.hetp.u-net.com/index.html http://www.hetp.u-net.com/Paul%20A%20Bristow%20info.html
