Thank you, John. Present state: * I have already modified my codes to include boost licensing and the boost style directories. * I have also addressed the issues that were drawn to my attention by you and other users. * The regression testing is almost complete. Give me a chance to do the following: 1. Write to the ACM and attempt to obtain an explicit written licensing arrangement for a derived boost version of the e_float core. 2. Separate the e_float core from the functions and work out a sensible strategy for handling the modularity. I will get back to you as soon as I have significantly progressed on 1 and 2. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Chris.

To move forward, I would welcome the core e_float (with addition of reference to Boost license terms in the program text - as normal Boost practice) to be put into the Boost Sandbox. This will allow us to have something concrete to try out and make more informed comments on exactly what Boostification we feel is desirable. (It will also allow us to get a definitive license statement of agreement from ACM before we get too far in. ).
Just to be clear, we would need to sort out the license definitively *before* any code went into the sandbox SVN. Pedantically yours, John. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
