Hi Steven,

I apologize for the late response.  Here's the command I issued from  
inside a cron script:

        svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk

Due to internal changes, it seems that I'm no longer able to run the  
above command from a (non-interactive) cron script (worked fine until  
Thursday evening MST).  Sadly, it (http) also fails interactively so  
my options are limited.  I did try using https but, while that works  
interactively, it also fails from a cron script.  I'm hoping that  
Monday I can find a way to continue to contribute to Boost though  
right now I'm not optimistic.  I have not yet tried specifying my  
Boost (svn.boost.org) username and password as arguments to svn though  
I'll give that a try soon.

Thanks again for your help with the results reporting Steven, I really  
appreciate you stepping up on short notice.
