Thanks for the advice Beman, it never hurts to CYA :)

This makes me wonder what the legal ramifications are of developing code for
a boost or other non 'work' project while at work?  I also made it clear to
my boss, who is a good programmer and uses boost, that I planned on devoting
a significant amount of time to this new GUI project.  Again, he thought it
was great.  Should I get this permission formalized?

Thanks,

Brock
