Legacy for compose?
Looking at the main index.html file in CVS, it looks like the old Compose library will be going away. However at least one book, _The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference_ by Nicolai M. Josuttis in 1999, assumes that Compose will still be there (and improved over what's in the book). Shouldn't our library list page permanently keep a note over what happened to the Compose library (and what should replace it)? -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

Good idea. Why not write one and check it in? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

That sounds very sensible to me. At the least the pages for the lib should be there as they might be cited in several books and articles. libs/compose.html could still redirect to libs/compose/index.html, which could just say: This library was deprecated in favor of the Bind or Lambda libraries and has been removed from Boost.

I've added a note to the master library list. I noticed that my CVS copy of Boost doesn't have any Boost.Compose stuff in it. I have my settings to create or destroy directories as needed. That means that all the files for Boost.Compose have been deleted. We would have to resurrect the BOOST_ROOT/libs/compose/index.htm file (and its parent directory) before editing it. I'm not that good with CVS yet. Could someone who is good with CVS resurrect the file? (Or let me know how to do it myself.) And immediately replace it with Jon's text before committing? -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

Just cvs add the file and it will come back. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

I don't have write access, but this is what you need to do: mkdir libs/compose cp new_version_of_index.htm libs/compose/index.htm cvs add libs/compose/index.htm cvs ci libs/compose/index.htm Where new_version_of_index.htm is the modified index.htm I sent, or something similar. The file revision numbering will continue from where it left off when the file was removed i.e. new version will be 1.6 jon

Done. My apologies for the delay. Doug
