I agree, the name should change. I'd look to the title of the email for guidance: The C++ Database Access Library -- I think the last part works pretty well -- says what the library does and can be abbreviated to simply DAL.
But does it have to be abbreviated? (I'm thinking of founding Acronymics Anonymous...) We know it is a library - otherwise everything in Boost would have to end with an L (and STL and MPL set bad examples that we should not follow). Other library items have a plain name, and matching namespace - like Fusion - and a full name. How about Boost.Access? and namespace boost::access; Surely that name can't be taken ;-) Paul --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
