Yes! Now compiles OK.

Microsoft was still failing because of they don't put abs() in namespace 
std.  Hope you don't mind; I went ahead and updated random_test.cpp in the 
CVS with the usual BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE workaround.

After that random_test.cpp also compiles OK with VC++.

There was one warning, which I'm including below in case it is something 
you care about.

c:/boost/site\boost/random.hpp(118) : warning C4308: negative integral 
constant converted to unsigned type
c:/boost/site\boost/random.hpp(115) : while compiling class-template member 
function 'unsigned int __cdecl boost::random::const_mod<unsigned 
int,714025>::add(unsigned int,unsigned int)'

Anyhow, random_test.cpp is now passing all compilers except Borland 5.4, 
which we are about to drop anyhow.

Thanks,
