I had a look at the Borland failures.

integer/integer_traits_test.cpp

   The problem is in the test program rather than the library.
   (Well actually the problem is in the compiler, but...)
   The workaround is simple - change runtest from

      void runtest(const std::string & type)

   to

      void runtest(const char *type)

utility/iterators_test.cpp
utility/operators_test.cpp

   I believe they should work with the fixes I uploaded previously
   and which Jeremy incorporated into operators.zip in the vault.

rational/rational_example.cpp

   The problems are a bit deeper.  If anyone is interested I've put
   a rational.hpp with workarounds in the vault in

 http://www.egroups.com/files/boost/Rational+Borland/rational.hpp

   I don't know if this will break any other compilers.  I did test
   it with MSVC 6 and it was still OK, and that was the only one
   on Beman's table that had worked previously.  Who knows - it might
   now work with more.
