     Hi Dave,
     
     As I said in my first email on this, I have a work-round using 
     dos2unix. It just caught me by suprise when I downloaded the .zip from 
     yahoo files and found that I needed to do this.
     
     I have since instralled infozip on my Solaris box so I won't 
     personally need a .tgz.
     
     All I was suggesting was that if something is uploaded to boost files 
     area that is line ending sensitive then a .tgz would be useful. Just 
     as the main boost download web page provides both .zip and tar.gz.
     
     BTW I tried updating my build to the latest versions in cvs and got 
     syntax error at EOF
     warning: unknown rule $(gGENERATOR_FUNCTION($(target_type)))
     
     so I have reverted to the .zip file version.

>> if boost build/ftjam works with unix line endings on dos then only one 
archive
