Thanks for response.
I tried with BCB6 with the same results. So i assume i must use Microsoft or
devc++ (MinGW port). However the *.dsp  file which should be OK for VS6.0
fail to open. VS60 says it is not Developer Studio 6.0 project and refuses
to open it. In my next step i converted the given *.dsp file to BCB 6.0
project file. I had to add same paths to the project and it almost compiled.
I get an error:

[C++ Error] handle.hpp(77): E2285 Could not find a match for
'detail::manage_ptr<T>(_object *,int)'

Well, i havent found any manage_ptr too in boost nor Python nor STL
directories.... so i got stuck. 

Maybe someone have an idea?

The second question is: which compiler is best for compiling the
Python.Boost (DevC++ = MinGW ? or VisualC++2002 or Visual C++ 2003?). I
think once i have the dll's i can incorporate it into my applications
written in BCB.

The third question is: Is there a binary distribution of the Boost libs.
I'am talking about the sublibriaries that require it (Python, Threads,
Regex, and so on)(Regex however works good with Borland compilers).

Bye
Nick

That's because Borland C++'s template machinery is so badly broken that I've
never seen it as worthwhile to find workarounds for all of the problems.  A
guy named Chris Trengrove was apparently working on a port some time ago
which seemed to have promise but he never ended up posting results:
