salutations,

1) I am not sure if the version we downloaded is the pre-boost one,
because the site I downloaded it from makes reference to the boost
library. I downloaded it from a tutorial:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/regex__.aspx
and followed this tutorial's steps for installation.
2) how can I download only boost::regex? is it necessary to download
the entire boost library? does it work with VC++ 6.0? can I use the
same installation steps of that tutorial?

thank you in advance.
