Hi,

I didn't make any tests with MSVC V7.1. If typeof don't works for this compiler maybe we can force BOOST_COMMON_TYPE_DONT_USE_TYPEOF and swithc to the emmulation that don't uses TYPEOF.

#if MSVC 7.1
#define BOOST_COMMON_TYPE_DONT_USE_TYPEOF
#endif

Unfortunately I have no access to my Boost environement as my hard disk is broken. John, can you check this?

Best,
Vicente
