_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE would best be defined by bjam when TOOLS=vc-8_0, as many other Boost libraries get the same warnings.
The deprecations are purely for security (potential buffer overflow) reasons. The help subsystem installed with the VC8 beta explains all. Lookup gets_s in the index, and then follow the link to "Security Enhancements in the CRT", to get up to speed quickly.
Unforunately, my beta 1 expired today, and I wasted about 8 hours last week trying to install beta 2 and then reinstalling beta 1. If there's a discussion specifically about deprecated member functions, could you please post an excerpt? Jonathan
