Hi, I heard VC6 has fatal problems in the case that 'explicit template arguments' are required. Current Implementation is: template< typename SeqT, typename Range > inline SeqT copy_range( const Range& r ) { return SeqT( begin( r ), end( r ) ); } Workaround is something like: template< typename SeqT, typename Range > inline SeqT copy_range( const Range& r BOOST_APPEND_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_TYPE(SeqT)) { return SeqT( boost::begin( r ), boost::end( r ) ); } Regards, MB http://p-stade.sourceforge.net/ -------------------------------------- STOP HIV/AIDS.
