No ;-(

I try to explain this in my previous mail:

<quote from previous mail>
For version 6.0 of VisualAge, BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD is 
intentially *not* defined. However in the attached patch you can see 
that I removed the 'template' keyword and that this makes it work. 
However sometimes putting the 'template' keyword makes it compile, 
sometimes ommitting the keyword makes it compile and sometimes we never 
succeed to compile such constructs (e.g. in the program-options 
library). For instance I tested defining  the 
BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD but the regression results overall were 
worse.

IIUC, this responds to your question or is there soth. else (and the 
quote above is probably not written very clearly as well) ?
