I suggest you try out Boost 1.37, which has just been released and 
contains many more Borland specific fixes than 1.36 . That said, as 
you've already been told, C++ Builder is still way behind g++ and VC++ 
in terms of standard compliance and Boost support. Many libraries just 
don't work, while others work only partially.
