No, haven't looked at much third-party stuff other than Boost and SGI's STL.
Any more, if it costs money, the outfits I work for won't buy it.  And most
of the programmers don't believe in it.  Hey, out of maybe 60 programmers
here, there's maybe two who even believe in templates, and only one other
than me who uses assembler.  Namespaces everyone but me rejects, because of
their bad experiences with VC++ 4.0.  So I'm viewed as something of a
troublemaker for just using the coding techniques I know <g>.  There's also
a strong "not invented here" effect at work.  I couldn't interest anyone in
MathEngine here, even though it whales the tar out of any physics engine in
the building, and is practically free, to boot.

But for my own stuff, I'm always willing to look at new stuff.  Have you got
a URL on Blitz++, or is it web-findable?  Thanks.
