That depends on how high you set the bar. There are quite a few compilers out there that are reasonably conformant to the standard (e.g., GCC 3.4+, MSVC 7.1+, CodeWarrior 9+, anything EDG-2.45+-based), and those should be supported. At this point, no library would get rejected because it doesn't support the old, broken compilers out there. Doug
