Hello,

 

     Thank you for correcting me on the web address.  In the case of the bjam instruction, I had put the quotation mark in the wrong spot.  I corrected that, but the result is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\boost_1_33_1>bjam --without-pytho

That link doesn't exist... Perhaps you meant
<http://boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html>
