    There is some work going on here at boost, and I hope others will answer 
    you in more detail about that.

    But there is one thing that you and other HP users need to do yourself, and 
    that is to complain loud and clear to HP that their compiler needs to be 
    fixed so that it will work with modern libraries like Boost. Be sure to 
    specifically name Boost in your complaint.
    
    HP is one of the few remaining compiler suppliers which seems to have major 
    problems with the Boost libraries. Most of the others are tracking Boost 
    carefully, and fixing compiler problems that surface as a result.
    
    The compiler people don't necessarily care about Boost, but they do care 
    about complaints from customers. So let them know that Boost is one of the 
    ways you judge their performance.

Ok. It seems to be a good idea!

Anyway I can send error messages here to support the development and
some quick fixes to consider. Unfortunately I have run out of time
with trying things with boost. It is a very good library at the first
glance!
