That's possible, but hasn't happened up to now. Actually, I had to replace loki with several of the boost libraries, not only mpl, but the sum of these seems to be enough :)

Damn :), I need to brush up on my template skills.

Thanks for the solution, it has given me more insight into ways in which mpl can be used.

Thanks, I knew about Leor's package and used it in the "old" days (VC6), but since I switched to VC7.1, reading errors in SôL code became MUCH easier.

Thanks again for the help,
