Hi All,

A version of the Iostreams library designed to work with release 1.32 is now
available:

   http://home.comcast.net/~jturkanis/iostreams/

This version does not incorporate all the changes decided on during the review,
but most of the name changes have been applied. In particular,

   - The library is now contained entirely in the iostreams subdirectories of
<boost> and <libs>.
   - Resources are now called Devices
   - The i/o mode Inout has been renamed Bidirectional
   - The concept Buffered has been renamed Multi-Character
   - Filters are now located in the directory boost/iostreams/filter
   - Devices are now located in the directory boost/iostreams/device

The library has been tested on VC7.1, Intel 7.1-8.0 for Windows, Codewarrior 8.3
and GCC 3.2 (mingw). Unfortunately, I have noticed some regressions of GCC
3.3-4, but am working to correct them.

I am confident that the library will eventually work on GCC 3.3+ and Borland
5.6.4. In addition, I may be able to provide limited support for VC6-7.0.

I'm hoping to get a version into CVS soon.

Also, several of the fixes that people sent me during the review have been
removed because they caused regressions. They have not been forgotten -- they
will be incorporated in to the final version in modified form.
