The library is functional but hasn't been made public yet. The full documentation is at http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html but I'd suggest these pages for a first read http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html/dd/d53/overview.html and http://www.amichel.com/de/doc/html/db/d4e/tutorial.html . The zip containing the DE C++ library and helper files is at http://www.amichel.com/de/de.zip. The DE main page is at http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~storn/code.html . Thanks, Adrian Michel Hello, I took a peak at the overview and some of the other pages and from what I can see initially, it looks like a very useful library for artificial intelligence. I have very limited knowledge in the field but this is something that grabs my interest, so if it's made public I'll definitely use it for future projects that would benefit from it. Of course whether it is suitable for Boost is for others to determine. Philip Bennefall
